Key result
Endocardial lead placement for pacemakers or ICDs resulted in a two-grade increase in tricuspid regurgitation severity in 10.0% of patients.

What is the incidence and what are the predictors of worsening tricuspid regurgitation following implantation of endocardial leads in patients receiving a PPM or ICD?
Worsening tricuspid regurgitation occurs in 10% of patients following endocardial lead placement, and is predicted by baseline right atrial area and right ventricular systolic pressure.
Lee et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Patients receiving a permanent pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (n=382). Endocardial lead placement (PPM or ICD) was evaluated on A two-grade increase in the severity of tricuspid regurgitation. Endocardial lead placement for pacemakers or ICDs resulted in a two-grade increase in tricuspid regurgitation severity in 10.0% of patients.
