“…TAPSE and MAPSE have demonstrated their utility as potentially useful markers of ventricular systolic dysfunction in adult patients with heart failure or valvular disease [2,3] and in children with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) [4,5] . It has also been shown to be feasible and reproducible in fetuses [1,[6][7][8] . Recent studies support the use of TAPSE and MAPSE as a sensitive tool for detecting subtle cardiac dysfunction in fe-tuses with IUGR [9] and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) [10] .…”

Objectives: To construct Z-score reference ranges for fetal mitral and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursions (MAPSE and TAPSE), using angular M-mode (AM) and conventional M-mode (CM). Methods: A prospective cross-sectional investigation was conducted on 261 normal singleton fetuses from 22 to 40 weeks' gestation. TAPSE and MAPSE were measured by AM and CM. Reference ranges of TAPSE and MAPSE derived from AM and CM were determined against gestational age (GA) and heart area (HA), using regression analyses of the mean and standard deviation. Results: TAPSE and MAPSE showed positive correlations with GA and HA. A cubic regression was the best-fitted model for the mean of MAPSE and TAPSE based on HA, while a linear regression model was established for the mean based on GA. Z-scores and 95% reference intervals for predicting MAPSE and TAPSE were established. Strong correlations were found between AM and CM, whereas CM underestimated AM (mean error: MAPSE 0.25 ± 0.18 mm; TAPSE 0.35 ± 0.2 mm). Conclusion: Normal data and the Z-scores of fetal MAPSE and TAPSE were provided against GA and HA, which can be useful for quantitative assessment of fetal cardiac dysfunction, particularly in cases of intrauterine growth restriction.

“…This parameter is easy to obtain and correlates well with tissue Doppler for the assessment of the diastolic function of the fetal myocardium [14]. The TAPSE and MAPSE reference values increase with gestational age; however, TAPSE values are higher than those of MAPSE [15,16].…”

Applicability and technical aspects of two-dimensional ultrasonography for assessment of fetal heart function

et al. 2017

In recent years, fetal echocardiography has been used for the screening and diagnosis of anatomical heart defects and for the detailed study of fetal cardiac function. This method is characterized by its easy implementation and good reproducibility, allowing the diagnosis of myocardial dysfunction even in its subclinical phase. The functional assessment of the fetal heart should be routinely performed in fetuses with congenital heart disease and those without anatomical malformation. Several extra-cardiac conditions may alter fetal cardiac function, by increased placental resistance, volume overload or hyperdynamic circulation, compression, or maternal systemic disease with involvement of the fetal myocardium. This review addresses the main ultrasound techniques and various Doppler echocardiographic parameters available for the analysis of fetal heart function, and correlates them with clinical applicability. Various parameters available for the assessment of fetal myocardium, including those that evaluate atrial dynamics, can be used in this analysis and should be selected considering specific conditions.

“…We read with interest the article 'Fetal tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (f-TAPSE): evaluation of fetal right heart systolic function with conventional M-mode ultrasound and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) M-mode' of Messing et al 1 . In our opinion this is an excellent statement describing the increase of f-TAPSE during the second half of gestation, in relation to gestational age and to estimated fetal weight.…”

“…In our opinion this is an excellent statement describing the increase of f-TAPSE during the second half of gestation, in relation to gestational age and to estimated fetal weight. The authors clearly state that there is a need for a detailed evaluation of fetal right heart function, especially because right heart function is incremental in the fetal and neonatal period 1 . We agree with the authors that measurement of f-TAPSE should be included in the evaluation of fetal cardiac function.…”

Fetal tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (f‐TAPSE): evaluation of fetal right heart systolic function with conventional M‐mode ultrasound and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) M‐mode

Abstract: Objectives Fetal tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (f-TAPSE) is a modified method to measure the vertical movement of the tricuspid valve annulus by Mmode ultrasound, in order to assess the fetal right heart. Evaluation of right heart function is well-recognized in
