Mitral annular plane systolic excursion on exercise: a simple diagnostic tool for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Current guidelines for the diagnosis of heart failure with normal or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are based on measurements at rest. However, in HFpEF ventricular dysfunction is more apparent on exercise. We hypothesized that Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) which is easy to acquire on exercise could be used to detect occult left ventricular (LV) impairment.
