Tricuspid Valve Dysfunction Caused by Right Ventricular Leads

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics

Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation is increasingly recognized as a clinically significant valvular condition. The role of multiple pacemaker and implantable cardiac defibrillator leads in distortion of the valve structure and the risk of trauma to the valve and subvalvular apparatus with lead extraction contribute to the development of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). There is a clinical imperative to better understand the optimal way to diagnose lead-related TR, risk factors for the development of TR, and optimal strategies to mitigate this problem.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
