Recently, catheter-based procedures have been developed to repair the tricuspid valve or reduce the leak without open surgery ...

Changes in a murmur with respiration (inhalation) can help distinguish a right-sided murmur from its corresponding left-sided murmur. All right-sided murmurs increase with inspiration (Carvallo sign).

Mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are two conditions involving backward leakage of blood through a heart valve when a ventricle contracts. People may experience either or both ...

Diagnosis: Rheumatic valvular disease with severe mitral stenosis, moderate mitral regurgitation, moderate aortic regurgitation, moderate aortic stenosis, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and mild ...

BECAUSE of the great interest currently demonstrated in the surgical correction of mitral stenosis, it has become essential for the clinician to be able to diagnose this condition with the greatest ...

An S4 heart sound cannot be present during atrial fibrillation (atrial kick is required). An S3 heart sound cannot be present in the setting of severe mitral stenosis. An S3 heart sound can be present ...

Patrick O’Gara speaks with Sean Pinney about the evaluation and treatment of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation.

Tricuspid regurgitation — a leak in the heart’s tricuspid valve that allows blood to flow back from the right ventricle to the right atrium — is relatively rare after a mitral valve repair procedure, ...

The real-world Evoque and new TRILUMINATE findings provide an “extension” from the pivotal trials, Dharam Kumbhani says.

WITH the advent of cardiac catheterization and operative procedures for correction of valvular deformities it has become increasingly important for the pathologist to attempt, from post-mortem ...

FDA staff questioned the evidence for clinical benefit with the TriClip G4 transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system for severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in documents released ahead of the ...
