Chronic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) results in progressive right ventricular (RV) volume overload, followed by right-sided chamber dilatation, RV systolic dysfunction, and eventual low-output cardiac failure. Severe TR is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, and yet until recently, patients in the late stage of their disease course had limited treatment options. Cognizant of the high mortality rates associated with surgical intervention, tricuspid valve (TV) transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has emerged as a promising solution for patients with severe TR.

With a large migrant population, Australia presents a unique microcosm in which to study the impact of migrant status and ethnicity in STEMI patients.
Aim: To investigate if first-generation migrants differed in presentation, treatment or outcomes following STEMI compared with the Australian-born population.
