Amyloid light-chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL-CA) patients experiencing RV failure have a poorer prognosis. The echocardiographic ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) serves as a non-invasive proxy for evaluating the coupling betwee...
