Background: Right ventricular (RV) failure is a well-recognized pivotal prognostic factor of adverse outcomes in pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), while RV dilation provides significant implications for adaptive or maladaptive changes. PAH is a predominant cause of mortality among patients with connective tissue disease (CTD). This study aims to elucidate the prognostic significance of RV morphology, as assessed by echocardiography (ECHO), in with CTD associated with PAH (CTD-PAH).

Objectives: Robotic-assisted mitral valve repair (MVr) is a well-established procedure for management of degenerative mitral valve disease. Limited data regarding concomitant robotic-assisted tricuspid valve repair (TVr) is available. This review investigates prevalence and outcomes of concomitant robotic-assisted mitral and tricuspid valve repair.

Transcatheter Caval Implantation for Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation.

Curr Cardiol Rep

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Heart Vascular & Thoracic Institute, Cleveland Clinic, 9500 Euclid Avenue, J2-3, Cleveland, OH, 44195, USA.

Purpose Of Review: We describe the evolution of caval valve implantation (CAVI) as a treatment for severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the high surgical risk patient.

Recent Findings: Surgical treatment of severe TR is often limited by the high surgical risk of the patients who tend to develop severe secondary TR. Coaptation, annuloplasty, and orthotopic replacement strategies are all limited by annular and leaflet geometry, prior valve repair, and the presence of cardiac implantable device leads.

Idiopathic Annular Ventricular Arrhythmias.

Arrhythm Electrophysiol Rev

December 2024

Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center Nashville, TN, US.

Idiopathic arrhythmias originating from the mitral and tricuspid annuli are commonly encountered in clinical practice. This review focuses on distinguishing features of ventricular arrhythmias arising from these structures and the importance of distinguishing idiopathic arrhythmias from those associated with structural heart disease. Each region along the mitral and tricuspid annuli (including the cardiac crux and para-Hisian region) is then discussed separately, with a particular emphasis on the ablation strategies and pitfalls for each.

Right ventricular (RV) longitudinal strain has emerged as a crucial tool for evaluating RV systolic function in patients with heart disease. The complex anatomy of the RV presents challenges for functional assessment, traditionally conducted using conventional parameters, such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and RV fractional area change. While these conventional methods are simple and practical, they have limitations in reflecting the majority of global RV systolic function.
