Title: Transthoracic echocardiographic image of tricuspid annular plane
systolic excursion
Legend: Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was measured on
M-mode tracings through the tricuspid annulus by the RV-focused apical
4-chamber view
RV, right ventricle

Title: ROC curves of TAPSE, RV-FAC, and S’ to predict CV events
Legend: The AUC of TAPSE (0.793) was the largest compared to those of
RV-FAC (0.681) and S’ (0.626).
AUC, area under the curve; CV, cardiovascular; ROC, receiver operating
characteristic; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion

Title: Kaplan-Meier curves of cardiovascular events according to TAPSE
Legend: Patients with TAPSE <11 mm had a significantly higher
rate of CV event (p = 0.018 by the log-rank test) compared to those with
TAPSE ≥11 mm.
