Key result
Permanent pacemaker or ICD implantation was associated with new or worsening tricuspid regurgitation in a minority of patients (16% from normal to mild, 10% from mild to moderate), without acute clinical deterioration.

Device implantation rarely worsens tricuspid regurgitation early without deterioration; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of causality and durability.
Observational (n=61)
Does permanent pacemaker or ICD implantation increase the severity of tricuspid regurgitation in patients referred for device implantation?
Permanent pacemaker or ICD implantation rarely causes new or worsening tricuspid regurgitation early after the procedure.
Küçükarslan et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Patients referred for implantation of permanent pacemaker or ICD (n=61). Permanent pacemaker or ICD implantation vs. Baseline (before implantation) was evaluated on Severity of tricuspid regurgitation. Permanent pacemaker or ICD implantation was associated with new or worsening tricuspid regurgitation in a minority of patients (16% from normal to mild, 10% from mild to moderate), without acute clinical deterioration.
