Objectives: Peak systolic mitral annular velocities correlate with left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) regardless of mitral regurgitation severity. Peak systolic tricuspid annular velocity (RV-Sm) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) are used to assess right ventricular (RV) EF (RVEF). We investigated whether tricuspid regurgitation (TR) affects the relationship among RV-Sm, TAPSE, and RVEF.Methods: Patients (n = 625) underwent echocardiography and Doppler tissue studies. Left ventricular EF and RVEF were estimated by Simpson's rule. Because of confounding, we excluded patients with diseases that influence mitral annular motion or left ventricular function. We finally enrolled 225 patients: 125 with mild TR, 50 with moderate TR, and 50 with severe TR. Forty study patients (20 with mild TR, 10 with moderate TR, and 10 with severe TR) received radionuclide ventriculography.Results: The RVEF estimated by Simpson's method correlated strongly to that estimated by the radionuclide method (r = 0.793, r(2) = 0.629, P
