Reassessing the role of tricuspid valve surgery in the modern era

Heart BMJ

The tricuspid valve (TV), historically deemed the ’forgotten valve’, is undergoing a renaissance as mounting evidence highlights its critical role in cardiovascular outcomes. Severe TR has been independently associated with increased mortality, regardless of left ventricular (LV) function or pulmonary pressures.

Case Report: unexpected cause of cyanosis in an infant after acute exposure to high altitude—severe tricuspid regurgitation secondary to tricuspid valve prolapse

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundSevere tricuspid regurgitation (TR) causing cyanosis with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and right-to-left atrial shunting requires a precise diagnosis for optimal therapy. Tricuspid valve prolapse (TVP) can lead to TR and is sometimes overlooked, especially in complex cases with factors like pulmonary hypertension (PH).

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

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Distribution Variance of Focal Atrial Tachycardia Foci and Long-Term Outcomes After Ablation. FAT in middle-aged and old adult patients was more likely to originate from the crista terminalis, tricuspid annulus, non-coronary cusp, and para-His. After a mean follow-up of 47.2 months, FAT recurred in 57 patients.

Imaging and haemodynamic parameters associated with clinical outcomes following isolated tricuspid valve surgery

Open Heart

Introduction Isolated tricuspid valve surgery (TVS) may be associated with high morbidity and mortality. The primary outcome was a composite of mortality and congestive heart failure at 1 year. The primary outcome occurred in 16 patients (27%) with a 1-year mortality of 7%. respectively, p<0.05).

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with atrial versus ventricular secondary tricuspid regurgitation undergoing tricuspid transcatheter edge?to?edge repair – Results from the TriValve registry

European Journal of Heart Failure

Abstract Aim Functional or secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) is the most common phenotype of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with atrial STR (ASTR) and ventricular STR (VSTR) being recently identified as two distinct entities. ASTR vs. VSTR) are lacking.

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

Journal of the American Heart Association

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. Both resting/stress TAPSE/PASP and TAS’/PASP were correlated with rest/exercise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and mean pulmonary artery pressure.

Chest discomfort and a dilated right ventricle. What's going on?
