Clinically relevant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common disorder, affecting approximately 4% of people 75 years of age or older.1 If left untreated, severe TR results in volume overload and right ventricular remodelling. This eventually leads to symptomatic right-sided heart failure, along with increased morbidity and mortality. This disease is highly undertreated due to high complication […]

For decades, right ventricular pacing (RVP) has been the leading pacing technique and has been proven to be effective in treating patients with symptomatic bradycardia. However, dyssynchrony caused by non-physiological ventricular activation results in pacing-induced cardiomyopathy occurs in approximately 15% of patients with >20% ventricular pacing after 5 years.1 Pacing of the right ventricular septum has […]
