Tricuspid Valve Evaluation in Patients with Implanted Devices
摘要
The presence of cardiac implantable electronic devices is linked to the occurrence of tricuspid regurgitation. Understanding the structural mechanisms behind tricuspid regurgitation paramount in this group of patients as it facilitates establishing monitoring strategies through noninvasive imaging and refines implantation techniques. Echocardiography is the primary imaging technique for identifying tricuspid regurgitation's structural mechanisms and severity in patients with implanted devices. The guidelines indicate a multimodality approach using two-dimensional and three-dimensional echocardiography for this complex pathology evaluation.
