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

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

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 ...

In mild disease, the TV offset from the anatomical annulus is modest and multimodal TR quantification is based on current recommendations. In case of significant TV orifice rotation from the ...

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 ...

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include: Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results. Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new ...

Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation (A-STR) is characterized by normal-appearing leaflets that fail to function properly in the presence of marked annular and atrial dilatation, often in the ...

For tricuspid valves with intrinsic pathology or severe annular dilatation for which annuloplasty cannot be effective, tricuspid replacement may be needed. Both procedures increase the length of the ...

True to form, evaluation of right heart dimensions and right ventricular function showed mixed results. As previously reported, both tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and right ventricular ...

CCT enables for millimetric image resolution, hence facilitating an accurate assessment of several landmarks: the tricuspid annular dimensions over the cardiac cycle (paramount for annuloplasty ...

Like MR, tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can be primary, but is more often secondary, related to distortion of the right atrial or ventricular anatomy, and consequent annular dilatation. Cardiac computed ...
