Approximately 4% of subjects aged 75 years or more have clinically relevant tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Primary TR results from anatomical abnormality the valve apparatus and is observed in only 8-10% patients with disease. Secondary common arises as a result annular dilation caused by right ventricular enlargement dysfunction consequence pulmonary hypertension, often left-sided heart disease atrial fibrillation. Irrespective its aetiology, leads to volume overload increased wall stress,...
Right ventricular (RV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) vary significantly with demographic anthropometric factors are associated poor prognosis in several cardiovascular diseases. This multicenter study was designed to (1) establish the reference values for RV EF using transthoracic three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography; (2) investigate influence of age, sex, body size on anatomy; (3) develop normative equations.RV (end-diastolic volume end-systolic volume), stroke volume, were measured...
Aims(i) To validate a new software for right ventricular (RV) analysis by 3D echocardiography (3DE) against cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR); (ii) to assess the accuracy of different measurement approaches; and (iii) explore any benefits vs. previous software.
Background— Despite the fact that assessment of right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) carries important implications for patient diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, its implementation in clinical settings has been hampered by limited reference values lack uniformity software, method, definition used measuring RVLS. Accordingly, this study was designed to establish (1) RVLS 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography; (2) their relationship with demographic, hemodynamic, cardiac...
Abstract Background and aims Benefit of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) correction timing intervention are unclear. This study aimed to compare survival rates after surgical or transcatheter conservative management according a TR clinical stage as assessed using the TRI-SCORE. Methods A total 2,413 patients with severe isolated functional were enrolled in TRIGISTRY (1217 conservatively managed, 551 valve surgery, 645 repair). The primary endpoint was at 2 years. Results TRI-SCORE low (≤3) 32%,...
Abstract Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation (A-STR) is a distinct phenotype of with predominant dilation the right atrium and normal left ventricular function. occurs most commonly in elderly women atrial fibrillation heart failure preserved ejection fraction sinus rhythm. In A-STR, main mechanism leaflet malcoaptation related to presence significant annulus enlargement. addition, there an insufficient adaptive growth valve leaflets that become unable cover enlarged annular area. As...
Right atrial (RA) size predicts the outcome in some pathological conditions but reference values for RA volumes and myocardial function remain to be defined. Thus, we used two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) three-dimensional (3DE) define normative of function. Two hundreds healthy volunteers (43 ± 15 years, range 18–75; 44% men) underwent (2DE) obtain longitudinal strain (LS) wall using 2D-STE, 3DE measure maximal (Vmax), minimal, preA calculate total, passive, active...
Our study sought to (1) identify reference values for left atrial (LA) volumes and phasic function indices by 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) compare them with those measured 2-dimensional (2DE) (2) analyze their relationship age, sex, body size, ventricular function. Accuracy reproducibility of 3DE 2DE have been also tested evaluate the robustness our data.We obtained maximal, minimal, preA LA in 276 healthy volunteers (18-79 years; 57% women). Limits normality total emptying fraction...
