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.
