Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a reproducible measure of right ventricular systolic function. We sought to determine the reliability of TAPSE measurements, to evaluate TAPSE in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) relative to normal values, and to correlate values of TAPSE with measures of exercise performance.
