Clinical Trial Summary
Aim of the study is to investigate the prognostic value of right ventricular contractile
reserve in patients with functional tricuspid regurgitation undergoing tricuspid valve repair
or replacement.
Description:
Chronic volume overload in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) leads to right
ventricular (RV) dilatation, fibrosis and eventually failure. RV dysfunction is an important
determinant of mortality in patients undergoing tricuspid valve surgery.
Aim of the current study is to investigate the prognostic utility of right ventricular
contractile reserve in patients with severe TR undergoing surgical or interventional
tricuspid valve repair or tricuspid valve replacement.
RV contractile reserve will be assessed using semi-supine bicycle stress echocardiography.
Echocardiographic parameters are prone to altered loading conditions, such as volume
overload. Load independent RV contractility can only be measured using invasive
pressure-volume-loop (PVL) analysis. Therefore RV PVL analysis will be done using conductance
catheter in a subset of patients who undergo right heart catheterization for clinical
evaluation of pulmonary hypertension. Aim of this sub study is the validation of
non-invasively derived RV contractile reserve with load independent markers of intrinsic RV
contractility.
