ONE YEAR FOLLOW UP OF TRICUSPID ANULUS

PLANE SYSTOLIC EXCURTION (TAPSE) IN

RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE PATIENTS WHO
UNDERGONE SURGICAL VALVE REPLACEMENT
Nabila Natasya, S.Ked
Department of Cardiovascular, Thoracic and Endovascular Surgery Sanglah
Central Hospital – Udayana University, Bali- Indonesia
 Background
There are estimated 15 million cases of RHD worldwide dominated in
developing country

There’re no exact data about RHD prevalence in Indonesia, but its estimated
there’re about 0.3-0.8 cases per 1000 people

Around 28-300 surgical valve replacement perform per year in Indonesia

Sanglah central hospital is the only hospital that can performed surgical valve
replacement around East Indonesian
Why TAPSE?
TAPSE represented right
heart function in
echocardiography

RVF have high prevalence of

morbidity and mortality

There’s still a few literature

available on RVF in context of
cardiac surgery
Method
Location of research :
• Sanglah General Hospital. Denpasar. Bali

Time of research :
• September 2017 – December 2017

Sample :
• 101 participants registered from 2012-2017
• Underwent surgical valve replacement at Sanglah General
Hospital
Method
Research method :
• Single center cohort study, with follow up for 1 year
• Bivariate analysis measure using chi-square
• Multivariate analysis and survival measure using cox-regression

Data collection :
• Secondary data ; Medical record
• Demographic data
• Echocardiography pre operative
• Echocardiography post operative
• Surgical Detail (types of technique, total time, ACC time, CPB time,
and type of prosthetic valve that we used)

Conclusion
Valve replacement can improve TAPSE in RHD Patients
Significantly

Some factors affecting TAPSE 12 months post surgical

replacement such as : age, JVP, LVIDd, LAdiam, E/A tyoe
of procedure and type of valve used

The findings from this study can be used to predict

prognosis of RHD patients that will be going to surgical
valve replacement Better patients selection and
improving surgical tecnique will give benefit to RV
function improvement
