Women are more likely to have pulmonary arterial hypertension, but men tend to have worse outcomes and worse treatment responses.

The following is a summary of “Impact of Exercise on Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Its Determinants: An Exercise ...

It is for use in the mitral or tricuspid position. Integral template provides a measured plication of the annulus for predictable, reproducible results. “C” shape of the flexible band allows ...

The ring and band include 18-inch adjustment strings, allowing subtle size changes during mitral or tricuspid valve repair ... band provide support for the annulus and enable physiologic movement.

and lower tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion [N=214 (19.5%)]; Phenotype 4, higher C‐reactive protein level and higher tricuspid pressure gradient [N=245 (22.3%)]; and Phenotype 5, poor ...

There was a significant reduction in tricuspid valve annular diameter (p<0.0001), coaptation distance (p<0.0001) and systolic tenting area (p<0.0001). The reduction in TR was also observed in patients ...

Risk factors for right ventricular failure after LVAD implantation obtained using echocardiography. RA, right atrial; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursión; RV, right ventricle; FAC, ...

TAPSE was obtained using M-mode echocardiography of the lateral annulus. S′ was assessed using tissue Doppler imaging from the apical four-chamber view. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was ...

with ≥moderate AFMR during exercise had lower Med S’, larger systolic mitral annular diameters, reduced tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, and more severe tricuspid regurgitation than those ...

Results There was a strong correlation between RV inlet diameter (2D) and end-diastolic volume (3D) (r=0.69, p<0.001) and between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and RV ejection fraction ...

LOS ANGELES, CA—With growing numbers of patients now being treated percutaneously for tricuspid valve regurgitation, surgeons are urging their colleagues to be more actively involved in this space or ...
