Nonapical Right Ventricular Pacing Is Associated with Less Tricuspid Valve Interference and Long-Term Progress of Tricuspid Regurgitation

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a well-known complication after permanent pacemaker implantation. The aim of this study was to compare the degree of TR and the relationship of lead position across the tricuspid valve (TV) between patients with right ventricular apical (RVA) and non-RVA pacing determined by three-dimensional echocardiography.
