Popis: Background: The role of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) in evaluating right ventricular (RV) function in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) has not been fully explored. We sought to evaluate the relation between TAPSE and RV fractional area change (FAC) and cardiac index (CI)
