Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an increasingly prevalent condition, especially in older populations, and presents significant challenges due to its association with right heart failure, hospital admissions, and high mortality rates. The management of TR has evolved, with new percutaneous valve repair and replacement techniques emerging alongside traditional surgical approaches. However, accurately assessing right ventricular (RV) function-a key prognostic factor in TR-remains difficult due to the RV's unique anatomy and sensitivity to loading conditions.

- The study investigates how changes in glucose metabolism in the left atrium are linked to persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and its persistence.
- Researchers used advanced imaging techniques to evaluate glucose uptake in the left atrium of 36 patients with persistent AF before and after treatment, comparing the results with healthy individuals.
- They found that patients with persistent AF had significantly higher glucose uptake in the left atrium, which decreased after returning to normal heart rhythm, highlighting the potential impact of altered metabolism on AF development.
