Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion-to-aortic ratio provides a bodyweight-independent measure of right ventricular systolic function in dogs

ConclusionsThe ratios, TAPSE:Ao and TAPSE:Ao(adj), are a bodyweight-independent means of assessing right ventricular systolic function in dogs and for identifying severe PH in dogs with or without MMVD.
