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.

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 ...

We utilized various echocardiographic parameters to group and evaluate heart failure patients, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), mitral valve flow E/A ratio, tricuspid annular plane ...

These conditions lead to atrial enlargement, which causes the dilatation of the mitral annulus and subsequent MR development.1 The mechanisms underlying AFMR are multifaceted, with various factors ...

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, ...

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 ...
