Prevalence, Predictors, and Prognostic Value of Residual Tricuspid Regurgitation in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Device

Prevalence, Predictors, and Prognostic Value of Residual Tricuspid Regurgitation in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Device

Background Although implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) generally improves tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in short‐term follow‐up, the clinical significance of residual TR in patients with mid‐ to long‐term LVAD support is unknown. This study aimed to identify the prevalence, predi...
