Background: Right ventricular (RV) diastolic function and right atrial (RA) function are poorly characterized in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), but may influence exercise capacity. We aimed to evaluate RA function and RV diastolic function in OSAS and study their relationship with exercise capacity.
Methods: Fifty-three patients with OSAS and thirty age- and gender-matched controls prospectively underwent echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing to investigate RV diastolic function, RA function, and exercise capacity.

Acquired systemic-to-pulmonary venous shunts are rare, occurring when collateral vessels form between systemic and pulmonary veins, bypassing the right heart and alveolar spaces. We present the case of a 29-year-old male with recurrent prosthetic tricuspid valve (TV) endocarditis. Following redo TV surgery, he developed refractory hypoxemia, resistant to diuresis and supplemental oxygen.

Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a relatively common condition, affecting approximately 4 % of the elderly population. However, there are currently no clear guidelines for its medical management due to a lack of sufficient data in the literature. This review examines the pathophysiology of TR, categorizes its etiologies, and evaluates therapeutic options, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, to optimize intervention timing and hemodynamic management.

This case report describes a unique occurrence of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) with severe mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary stenosis in a 17-year-old female. The patient presented with progressive exertional dyspnea and dependent edema. She had a history of acute rheumatic fever and joint pain 5 years ago.

Importance: Managing isolated severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) poses significant challenges, with questions recently arising about the efficacy of surgery and percutaneous therapies compared with conservative approaches in improving survival.
Objective: We aimed to assess the available evidence on mortality associated with different treatment modalities for isolated severe TR.
Evidence Review: A comprehensive search of medical databases was conducted.
