  • Mechanistic Insights into Tricuspid Regurgitation Secondary to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

    2022, American Journal of Cardiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Akin to mechanical changes described in secondary mitral regurgitation,13 this may conceivably lead to dyssynchrony, reduced leaflet closing forces, and ultimately, impaired coaptation with resultant significant TR. Chronic TR, in turn, contributes to right ventricular volume overload, which can exacerbate ventricular remodeling and tricuspid annular changes and ultimately worsen ventricular dysfunction and compromise cardiac output.2,4,5 As evidenced by the lower tricuspid annular planar systolic excursion, worse right ventricular global longitudinal strain, and lower cardiac index in our cohort with significant TR.

  • Parameterization, geometric modeling, and isogeometric analysis of tricuspid valves

    2021, Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering
  • Congenital diaphragmatic hernia-associated pulmonary hypertension

    2020, Seminars in Perinatology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Systemic (systolic) blood pressure (SBP) is captured simultaneously to determine the ratio of the PAP to the SBP. Despite the utility of echocardiographic measures, the TR jet is inadequate to assess the velocity in 10–25% of patients with PH.3,39 Secondary signs of PH should also be assessed.
