Table 4. Correlation of RVPSS, TAPSE, RVFAC and LVGLS with occurrence of RV- involvement in TC using Kendall-Tau-b correlation coefficient.

Kendall-Tau-b correlation coefficient p-value
RVPSS 0.490 0.004
RVFAC −0.499 0.003
TAPSE −0.379 0.025
LVGLS 0.329 0.048

RV: right ventricular, TC: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, RVPSS: right ventricular peak systolic strain, RVFAC: right ventricular fractional area change, TAPSE: tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, LVGLS: left ventricular global strain.
