Table 6. Diagnostic test performance of both apical and PLAX echo indices of RV function.

Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV Accuracy
TAPSE* 76% 85% 73% 87% 82%
RV-S’* 71% 81% 65% 83% 76%
FAC* 65% 96% 89% 83% 85%
RV global longitudinal strain** 85% 80% 71% 90% 82%
RV PLAX transverse strain** 83% 79% 69% 89% 81%

* Tested using cutoffs included in consensus guidelines (TAPSE <1.6 cm; RV-S’<10 cm/sec; FAC<35%) [16]

**Tested using cutoffs (RV-GLS 18%, transverse strain 21%) derived from ROC analysis (Fig 6).
