AIMS: TAPSE/sPAP (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion over systolic pulmonary artery pressure) assessed by echocardiography appears to be a good noninvasive approach for right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling assessment. We aimed to assess the in-hospital prognostic value of TAPSE/sPAP among patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS AND RESULTS: 333 consecutive patients (mean age 68 ± 14 years, 70% of male, mean LVEF 44 ± 16%) hospitalized for AHF across 39 French cardiology department, with TAPSE/sPAP measured by echocardiography within the 24 first hours of hospitalization were included in this prospective study...
