Abstract
Purpose of the review: Tricuspid regurgitation is associated with increased mortality in proportion to right ventricular adaptation to increased volume loading and pulmonary artery pressure. We here review recent progress in the understanding of right ventricular adaptation to pre- and after-loading conditions for improved recommendations of tricuspid valve repair.
Recent findings: Trans-catheter tricuspid valve repair has made the correction of tricuspid regurgitation more easily available, triggering a need of tighter indications. Several studies have shown the feasibility and relevance to the indications of tricuspid valve repair of imaging of right ventricular ejection fraction measured by magnetic resonance imaging or 3D-echocardiography, and the 2D-echocardiography of the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to systolic pulmonary artery pressure ratio combined with invasively determined mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance. Improved definitions of right ventricular failure and pulmonary hypertension may be considered in future recommendations on the treatment of tricuspid regurgitation.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart failure. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as investigative, pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapies, pathophysiology, and prevention. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
