Effect of left bundle branch pacing on right ventricular function: A 3-dimensional echocardiography study. Heart Rhythm 2024; 21:445-453. [PMID: 38147906 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2023.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) on right ventricular (RV) function is not well known, and there is conflicting evidence regarding whether cardiac resynchronization therapy improves RV function. OBJECTIVES The study aimed to investigate the effect of LBBP on RV function and to evaluate the response of RV dysfunction (RVD) to LBBP. METHODS Sixty-five LBBP candidates were prospectively included in the study and underwent echocardiography at baseline and 6-month follow-up. LBBP response was left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling, defined as a reduction in LV end-systolic volume of ≥15% at follow-up. RESULTS Patients were assigned to 2 subgroups on the basis of 3-dimensional echocardiography-derived RV ejection fraction (EF) before LBBP implantation: 30 patients (46%) in the no RVD group and 35 patients (54%) in the RVD group. The RVD group was characterized by higher N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels, New York Heart Association functional class, and larger LV/RV size. LBBP induced a significant reduction in QRS duration, LV size, and improvement in LVEF and mechanical dyssynchrony in both the no RVD and RVD groups, and a significant improvement in RV volumes and RVEF in the RVD group (all P<.01). LBBP resulted in a similar percentage reduction in QRS duration, LV dimensions, LV volumes, and percentage improvement in LVEF in RVD and no RVD groups (all P>.05). LV reverse remodeling (29 of 35 patients vs 27 of 30 patients; P = .323) in the RVD group was similar to that in the no RVD group after LBBP. CONCLUSION LBBP induces excellent electrical and mechanical resynchronization, with a significant improvement in RV volumes and function. RVD did not diminish the beneficial effects on LV reverse remodeling after LBBP.

Tricuspid regurgitation, right ventricular function, and renal congestion: a cardiorenal triangle. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1255503. [PMID: 37859684 PMCID: PMC10583553 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1255503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
There is a growing interest in the evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation due to its increasing prevalence and detrimental impact on clinical outcomes. Historically, it has been coined the "forgotten" defect in the field of valvular heart disease due to the lack of effective treatments to improve prognosis. However, the development of percutaneous treatment techniques has led to a new era in its management, with promising results and diminished complication risk. In spite of these advances, a comprehensive exploration of the pathophysiological mechanisms is essential to establish clear indications and optimal timing for medical and percutaneous intervention. This review will address the most important aspects related to the diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of tricuspid regurgitation from a cardiorenal perspective, with a special emphasis on the interaction between right ventricular dysfunction and the development of hepatorenal congestion.

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/mitral annular plane systolic excursion ratio in critically ill patients: an index of right- and left-ventricular function mismatch and a risk factor for cardiogenic pulmonary edema. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:175. [PMID: 37217863 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02142-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore whether the tricuspid annular systolic excursion (TAPSE)/mitral annular systolic excursion (MAPSE) ratio was associated with the occurrence of cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) in critically ill patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective observational study conducted in a tertiary hospital. Adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit who were on mechanical ventilation or in need of oxygen therapy were prospectively screened for enrolment. The diagnosis of CPE was determined based on lung ultrasound and echocardiography findings. TAPSE ≥ 17 mm and MAPSE ≥ 11 mm were used as normal references. RESULTS Among the 290 patients enrolled in this study, 86 had CPE. In the logistic regression analysis, the TASPE/MAPSE ratio was independently associated with the occurrence of CPE (odds ratio 4.855, 95% CI: 2.215-10.641, p < 0.001). The patients' heart function could be categorized into four types: normal TAPSE in combination with normal MAPSE (TAPSE↑/MAPSE↑) (n = 157), abnormal TAPSE in combination with abnormal MAPSE (TAPSE↓/MAPSE↓) (n = 40), abnormal TAPSE in combination with normal MAPSE (TAPSE↓/MAPSE↑) (n = 50) and normal TAPSE in combination with abnormal MAPSE (TAPSE↑/MAPSE↓) (n = 43). The prevalence of CPE in patients with TAPSE↑/MAPSE↓ (86.0%) was significantly higher than that in patients with TAPSE↑/MAPSE↑ (15.3%), TAPSE↓/MAPSE↓ (37.5%), or TAPSE↓/MAPSE↑ (20.0%) (p < 0.001). The ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve for the TAPSE/MAPSE ratio was 0.761 (95% CI: 0.698-0.824, p < 0.001). A TAPSE/MAPSE ratio of 1.7 allowed the identification of patients at risk of CPE with a sensitivity of 62.8%, a specificity of 77.9%, a positive predictive value of 54.7% and a negative predictive value of 83.3%. CONCLUSIONS The TAPSE/MAPSE ratio can be used to identify critically ill patients at higher risk of CPE.
