New Treatment Options Available for Patients with Tricuspid Valve Disease

DAIC

In tricuspid valve regurgitation, a complex condition that Cedars-Sinai experts regularly treat, the valve between two heart chambers on the right side doesn't open or close properly. Makkar explained the advances for patients with tricuspid valve disease in a conversationwith the Cedars-Sinai Newsroom. Image by Getty.

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.

Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Ebstein’s Anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart disease in which survival to adult life is common. In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is downward or apical displacement of posterior and septal tricuspid leaflets. Anterior leaflet is elongated and sail like.

Right Ventricular?Vascular Uncoupling Predicts Pulmonary Hypertension in Clinically Diagnosed Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American Heart Association

Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and it is a strong predictor of adverse outcomes. TAPSE/PASP and TAS’/PASP can be useful parameters to detect PH in patients with HFpEF.

Characteristics, determinants, and prognostic impact of severe tricuspid regurgitation in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation: Insights from the REVEAL‐AFMR registry

European Journal of Heart Failure

Prognostic impact of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR). Abstract Aims Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is often seen in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR). The primary endpoint was a composite of heart failure hospitalization and all-cause mortality.

The prognostic value of the Dandel's index in patients undergoing tricuspid transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair

European Journal of Heart Failure

If hemodynamic overload is sustained, it can progress to a maladaptive state and lead eventually to heart failure. Aims Conventional parameters of right ventricular (RV) function are load-dependent and therefore do not accurately reflect contractility in patients with relevant tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
