Mild Tricuspid Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcipt of video: Mild tricuspid regurgitation is often noted on echocadiogram reports and sometimes causes a little bit of worry and a lot of questions are asked on mild tricuspid regurgitation. What is this mild tricuspid regurgitation? And mild tricuspid regurgitation is just a small leak from the tricuspid valve.

Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is downward or apical displacement of posterior and septal tricuspid leaflets. The anterior leaflet is not displaced, but is elongated to meet the other leaflets, so that when it closes, a loud sound, tricuspid sound, is produced, which is called as the sail sound.

Echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary pressure in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation

Heart BMJ

Objectives The estimation of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is challenging in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The two principal indications were TR (34.3%) and mitral regurgitation (32.2%). years old; male 56%).

Atrial dilatation in Atrial fibrillation : A query with multiple twists!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Both atria develop from a combination of the primitive atrium, sinus venous, and pulmonary veins.It However, underlying lesions such as hypertension, mitral valve disease, COPD, ASD, and TR greatly influence the degree of atrial enlargement. But, we rarely dispute it , & ask which atrium dilates more in AF ? Let us see few factors.

Trans?aortic mitral isthmus ablation after surgical patch closure for an atrial septal defect

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods and Results This case report discusses a 65-year-old man who had previously undergone pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation for atrial fibrillation before ASD closure, respectively. He developed atrial tachycardia (AT) and underwent catheter ablation.

PO-04-195 CONDUCTION SYSTEM PACING IN D-TRANSPOSITION OF GREAT ARTERIES AFTER MUSTARD SURGERY

HeartRhythm

D-Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a rare congenital heart defect where the pulmonary artery originates from the left ventricle (LV) and the aorta from the right ventricle (RV).

Assessment of LV Diastolic Function by Echo in SR and AF

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Though there are several parameters for evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography, the most commonly used are the pulsed Doppler mitral E/A ratio and tissue Doppler mitral E/e’ ratio. Doppler interrogation of mitral valve is usually done from the apex through the apical four chamber view.
