Comparison of Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure With Versus Without Lead-Induced Tricuspid Regurgitation After Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Implantations

Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) caused by remodeling of the tricuspid valve (TV) accompanied by right ventricular (RV) and right atrial remodeling is the most common cause of significant TR in patients with cardiac diseases.1 –3 In contrast, the number of patients who have received cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) including a permanent pacemaker (PM), implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device has been increased in patients with advanced cardiac diseases .
