S’ Wave: Tissue doppler imaging-Derived Tricuspid Lateral Annular Systolic Velocity
S’ value less than 9.5 cm/sec indicating RV dysfunction. Mnemonic... If you stare at the number long enough you'll see 9.5 in it lol.
The first peak above baseline that is timed with the QRS represents isovolumetric contraction and not the tricuspid annular velocity.
