Why the study?
Right heart chambers and tricuspid annulus geometry and function had not been systematically evaluated and compared between atrial and ventricular phenotypes of functional tricuspid regurgitation.
What are the differences in right heart chamber geometry and function between atrial and ventricular phenotypes of functional tricuspid regurgitation?
What are the differences in right heart chamber geometry and function between atrial and ventricular phenotypes of functional tricuspid regurgitation?
Atrial and ventricular functional tricuspid regurgitation exhibit distinct right heart remodeling patterns, with A-FTR characterized by larger minimum right atrial volumes and smaller tricuspid annulus areas, whereas V-FTR features more dilated and dysfunctional right ventricles.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports distinct A-FTR vs V-FTR remodeling patterns; leaves open effects on prognosis and phenotype-specific therapy.
