Impact of Tricuspid Regurgitation on Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Pulmonary Vein Isolation
Our findings indicate that moderate or greater TR is associated with higher recurrence rates of AF after PVI, potentially due to RA enlargement and remodeling. This highlights the need for tailored ablation strategies that consider the RA substrate and/or TR treatment in patients with significant TR and AF. Further multicenter, prospective studies are required to validate these results and explore long-term outcomes.
