Figure 2. Average RV GLS separated by pre-implantation RVSP value. Green dots represent pre-implantation (“pre cath”), purple dots represent 24 hours post TPVR (“immediate post cath”), and orange dots represent within 18 months post TPVR (“18 mo. post cath”). This graph suggests that there is worse average RV longitudinal strain with RVSP> 75% systemicat pre-implantation without significant change within 24 hours post or within 18 months post TPVR.
