A need for bedside surrogates of ventriculoarterial coupling in critical care – can MAPSE be of help? - Takeaways - MDSpire

Exploring the Role of MAPSE as a Bedside Indicator for Ventriculoarterial Coupling in Critical Care Settings

Share

1

VA coupling responses in critically ill patients are unpredictable and weakly correlate with cardiac output and stroke volume changes.
2

Monitoring and optimizing VA coupling may be important for hemodynamic optimization, but effective strategies are currently lacking.
3

MAPSE, a measure of left ventricular longitudinal function, may serve as a bedside surrogate for VA coupling.
4

Cavefors et al. reported that MAPSE has strong prognostic value among critically ill patients, potentially exceeding other measures.
5

Further exploratory analyses are needed to assess the concordance between MAPSE changes and VA coupling alterations.
