Association of right atrial strain and long-term outcome in severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVE: Severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) causes significant right atrial (RA) volume overload, resulting in structural and functional RA-remodelling. This study evaluated whether patients with severe STR and reduced RA function, as assessed by RA-reservoir-strain (RASr), show lower long-term prognosis.
METHODS: Consecutive patients, from a single centre, with first diagnosis of severe STR and RASr measure available, ...
