Common Imaging Test Uses AI to Help Identify Heart Valve Disease

DAIC

tim.hodson Wed, 04/16/2025 - 14:19 April 16, 2025 An artificial intelligence (AI) program trained to review images from a common medical test can detect early signs of tricuspid heart valve disease and may help doctors diagnose and treat patients sooner, according to research from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai.

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.

PO-06-091 PRACTICE PATTERNS AND CLNICAL OUTCOMES FOR TRICUSPID VALVE INTERVENTIONS AMONG MEDICARE PATIENTS WITH CARDIAC IMPLANTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE UNITED STATES

HeartRhythm

Given recent FDA approval of percutaneous devices for tricuspid valve interventions (TVI), the electrophysiology community needs clinical evidence to guide the management of patients with pre-existing cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED).

Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia originating from the vicinity of lateral tricuspid annulus: the precise origin and anatomical concerns

HeartRhythm

Although the electrcardiographic and electrophysiological properties of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) from the vicinity of lateral tricuspid annulus (TA) have been reported in previous studies, their precise site of origin have not been addressed.

Efficacy and Safety of High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation for Cavo‐Tricuspid Isthmus With a Flexible‐Tip Temperature‐Controlled Power Regulation Catheter Performed by Electrophysiology Trainees

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction The suitability of high-power short-duration (HPSD) cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation (CTI-Abl) for electrophysiology (EP) trainees, as well as the underlying mechanisms of its efficacy, remain unknown.

Distribution Variance of Focal Atrial Tachycardia Foci and Long‐Term Outcomes After Ablation: Experience From Two Chinese Centers

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods and Results A total of 323 consecutive FAT patients who underwent electrophysiological study and radiofrequency catheter ablation between January 2011 and March 2023 were selected for this study. Young adults had a higher proportion of FAT originating from the superior vena cava and pulmonary veins. After a mean follow-up of 47.2
