Case Report: Leadless and left bundle branch area pacemakers, complementary advantages require a personalized approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Traditional transvenous pacemakers consist of a pacemaker generator usually positioned surgically in the upper left chest on the pectoral muscle fascia and one or more leads positioned through the veins to the right atrium and across the tricuspid valve to the right ventricular apex.

TRiCares Announces Successful Implantation of Minimally Invasive Topaz Tricuspid Heart Valve Replacement System in Patient with a Pacemaker

DAIC

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common and serious disease for which open heart surgery and symptomatic pharmacologic treatment are the current standard treatment options. Topaz is an innovative, minimally invasive device designed specifically to help patients suffering from severe TR, without the need for open heart surgery.

The Tricuspid Valve: A Review of Pathology, Imaging, and Current Treatment Options: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Tricuspid valve disease is an often underrecognized clinical problem that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, patients will often present late in their disease course with severe right-sided heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and life-limiting symptoms that have few durable treatment options.

Management and outcomes of carcinoid heart disease with liver metastases of midgut neuroendocrine tumours

Heart BMJ

Results Out of 43 (16%) consecutive patients with severe CHD and liver metastases of midgut NETs, 79% presented with right-sided heart failure. Tricuspid valve replacement was performed in 26 (53%) patients including 19 (73%) cases of combined pulmonary valve replacement.

And that will be the approximate level of the tricuspid valve, the reference point for measuring right atrial pressure. But while compressing here in a patient with heart failure, it can elicit pain because there could be tender hepatomegaly in patients with heart failure. X descent, X prime descent and Y descent.

Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes Associated With Permanent Pacemaker Implantation Following Tricuspid Valve Surgery

Journal of the American Heart Association

Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundData regarding permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation following tricuspid valve surgery (TVS) are limited. Outcomes included all‐cause mortality and readmission with endocarditis or heart failure on follow‐up. 1.49],P=0.04). 1.49],P=0.04).

Physical Examination as a Helpful Aid in Decision-Making in Challenging ECGs

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

His medical history includes hypertension, a decade-long battle with diabetes, ischemic heart disease, a coronary bypass graft surgery ten years ago, a diagnosis of congestive heart failure for the last five years, and a prior ICD implantation five years ago. Thus VT is very probable.
