Review

The article, "The Impact of Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) After Mitral Valve Surgery on Long Term Mortality," tackles a clinically pertinent question within cardiovascular medicine. The investigation into TAPSE's prognostic value following mitral valve surgery is highly relevant for risk stratification and optimizing post-operative management strategies. TAPSE, a simple echocardiographic measure, can provide crucial insights into right ventricular function, which is often compromised in patients undergoing mitral valve interventions. Understanding its predictive utility for long-term mortality could significantly aid clinicians in identifying high-risk patients and tailoring more intensive follow-up or interventions, thereby potentially improving patient outcomes. The topic itself holds substantial interest for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and echocardiographers alike. However, a comprehensive scientific review of this paper's merits is constrained by the provided "abstract," which is, in fact, an erratum notice rather than a summary of the research methodology, results, or conclusions. Consequently, it is impossible to assess the study's design, sample size, statistical analysis, or the robustness of its findings. A thorough evaluation would typically delve into whether the study employed appropriate patient cohorts, rigorous echocardiographic protocols, accurate mortality data collection, and robust statistical models to establish a credible link between post-operative TAPSE and long-term mortality. Without access to these details, the potential impact of the research can only be inferred from the strong clinical relevance suggested by its title. Despite the lack of research content in the provided information, the erratum itself offers a minor insight into the journal's publication standards. The prompt identification and correction of an incorrect DOI within the PDF version of the article, as detailed in the erratum, demonstrates a commitment to accuracy and proper scholarly citation by the Indonesian Journal of Cardiology. While an error is always undesirable, the transparent and proactive communication by the publisher to rectify it speaks to a certain level of editorial diligence. For a full appreciation of the scientific contribution, readers are encouraged to consult the complete article, which likely offers valuable insights into the prognostic role of TAPSE in this specific surgical context.
