Significant Tricuspid Regurgitation After Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Implantation and the Impact on Long-term Prognosis

HeartRhythm

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after implantation of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) is a concern, possibly due to lead impingement or underlying cardiac abnormalities. While TR after CIED may worsen prognosis,1 data on its progression, risk factors, and impact on cardiac structure and function are limited.

Risk Factors and Long‐Term Outcomes of Tricuspid Regurgitation After Transcatheter Closure of Pediatric Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defects

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundTranscatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects in children is a highly effective procedure, but it can result in tricuspid regurgitation (TR). TR was evaluated using echocardiography, and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify independent risk factors of postprocedural TR.

PO-03-174 PREDICTORS OF PERMANENT PACEMAKER PLACEMENT IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING TRICUSPID VALVE SURGERY-A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY OF THE NATIONAL INPATIENT SAMPLE

HeartRhythm

Tricuspid valve surgery for isolated tricuspid valve disease is becoming increasingly common. Incidence and risk factors of this complication are not well established. These patients often need permanent pacemaker (PPM) post-surgery.

A meta‐analysis of the distance between lead‐implanted site and tricuspid valve annulus with postoperative tricuspid regurgitation deterioration in patients with left bundle branch area pacing

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a known complication of cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs), with prevalences ranging from 10% to as high as 30%. A shorter lead-TA-distance was an independent risk factor for TR deterioration in individuals with post-LBBAP implantation.

Right ventricular function and anemia in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The level of hemoglobin (Hb) had a weak negative linear correlation with NT-pro-BNP (log-transform, r = 0.30, P < 0.0001) and a positively correlation with the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) ratio (r = 0.44, P < 0.0001).

Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Congenital Heart Disease: Therapeutic Challenges and Future Perspectives

Journal of the American Heart Association

Herein, we provide an overview of the current knowledge on the pathophysiology and risk factors for AF in adult congenital heart disease, with a special focus on the existing challenges in AF ablation. Emerging imaging modalities and ablation techniques might have a role to play.
