Right ventricular dysfunction and tricuspid regurgitation in functional mitral regurgitation.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic importance of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with moderate-severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) receiving MitraClip procedure. RVD and TR grade are associated with cardiovascular mortality in the general population and other cardiovascular diseases. However, there are limited data from observational studies on the prognostic significance of RVD and TR in FMR receiving MitraClip procedure.

Methods and results

A systemic review and meta-analysis were performed using MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase to assess the prognostic value of RVD and TR grade for mortality in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) receiving MitraClip procedure. Hazard ratios were extracted from multivariate models reporting on the association of RVD and TR with mortality and described as pooled estimates with 95% confidence intervals. A total of eight non-randomized studies met the inclusion criteria with seven studies having at least 12 months follow-up with a mean follow-up of 20.9 months. Among the aforementioned studies, a total of 1112 patients (71.5% being male) were eligible for being included in our meta-analysis with an overall mortality rate of 28.4% (n = 316). Of the enrolled patients, RVD was present in 46.1% and moderate-severe TR in 29.2%. RVD was significantly associated with mortality compared to normal RV function (HR, 1.79, 95% CI, 1.39-2.31, P < 0.001, I² = 0). Patients with moderate-severe TR showed increased risk of mortality compared with those in the none-mild TR group (HR, 1.61. 95% CI, 1.11-2.33, P = 0.01, I² = 14).

Conclusions

This meta-analysis demonstrates the prognostic importance of RVD and TR grade in predicting all-cause mortality in patients with significant FMR. RV function and TR parameters may therefore be useful in the risk stratification of patients with significant FMR undergoing MitraClip procedure.

Project description:To study the effect of mitral valve repair with or without concomitant tricuspid valve repair on functional tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular function.From 2001 to 2007, 1833 patients with degenerative mitral valve disease, a structurally normal tricuspid valve, and no coronary artery disease underwent mitral valve repair, and 67 underwent concomitant tricuspid valve repair. Right ventricular function (myocardial performance index and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion) was measured before and after surgery using transthoracic echocardiography for randomly selected patients with tricuspid regurgitation grade 0, 1+, and 2+ (100 patients for each grade) and 93 with grade 3+/4+, 393 patients in total.In patients with mild (<3+) preoperative tricuspid regurgitation, mitral valve repair alone was associated with reduced tricuspid regurgitation and mild worsening of right ventricular function. Tricuspid regurgitation of 2+ or greater developed in fewer than 20%, and right ventricular function had improved, but not to preoperative levels, at 3 years. In patients with severe (3+/4+) preoperative tricuspid regurgitation, mitral valve repair alone reduced tricuspid regurgitation and improved right ventricular function; however, tricuspid regurgitation of 2+ or greater returned and right ventricular function worsened toward preoperative levels within 3 years. Concomitant tricuspid valve repair effectively eliminated severe tricuspid regurgitation and improved right ventricular function. Also, over time, tricuspid regurgitation did not return and right ventricular function continued to improve to levels comparable to that of patients with lower grades of preoperative tricuspid regurgitation.In patients with mitral valve disease and severe tricuspid regurgitation, mitral valve repair alone was associated with improved tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular function. However, the improvements were incomplete and temporary. In contrast, concomitant tricuspid valve repair effectively and durably eliminated severe tricuspid regurgitation and improved right ventricular function toward normal, supporting an aggressive approach to important functional tricuspid regurgitation.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study sought to evaluate the prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature-tracking-derived right ventricular (RV) free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) in a large multicenter population of patients with severe functional tricuspid regurgitation.BackgroundTricuspid regurgitation imposes a volume overload on the RV that can lead to progressive RV dilation and dysfunction. Overt RV dysfunction is associated with poor prognosis and increased operative risk. Abnormalities of myocardial strain may provide the earliest evidence of ventricular dysfunction. CMR feature-tracking techniques now allow assessment of strain from routine cine images, without specialized pulse sequences. Whether abnormalities of RV strain measured using CMR feature tracking have prognostic value in patients with tricuspid regurgitation is unknown.MethodsConsecutive patients with severe functional tricuspid regurgitation undergoing CMR at 4 U.S. medical centers were included in this study. Feature-tracking RVFWLS was calculated from 4-chamber cine views. The primary endpoint was all-cause death. Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was used to examine the independent association between RVFWLS and death. The incremental prognostic value of RVFWLS was assessed in nested models.ResultsOf the 544 patients in this study, 128 died during a median follow-up of 6 years. By Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients with RVFWLS ≥median (-16%) had significantly reduced event-free survival compared with those with RVFWLS <median (log-rank p < 0.001). By Cox multivariable regression modeling, RVFWLS was associated with increased risk-of-death after adjustment for clinical and imaging risk factors, including RV size and ejection fraction (hazard ratio: 1.14 per %; p < 0.001). Addition of RVFWLS in this model resulted in significant improvement in the global chi-square (31 to 78; p < 0.001).ConclusionsCMR feature-tracking-derived RVFWLS is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with severe functional tricuspid regurgitation, incremental to common clinical and imaging risk factors.

Project description:Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) induces right ventricular cardiomyopathy, a common heart disease, and eventually leads to severe heart failure and serious clinical complications. Accumulating evidence shows that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the pathological process of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. However, the regulatory mechanisms and functional roles of RNA interactions in TR-induced right ventricular cardiomyopathy are still unclear. Accordingly, we performed integrative analyses of genes associated with right ventricular cardiomyopathy induced by TR to study the roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of this disease. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing data of tissue samples from nine clinical cases of right ventricular myocardial cardiomyopathy induced by TR and nine controls with normal right ventricular myocardium from the Genotype-Tissue Expression database. We identified differentially expressed lncRNAs and constructed a protein-protein interaction and lncRNA-messenger RNA (mRNA) co-expression network. Furthermore, we determined hub lncRNA-mRNA modules related to right ventricular myocardial disease induced by TR and constructed a competitive endogenous RNA network for TR-induced right ventricular myocardial disease by integrating the interaction of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA. In addition, we analyzed the immune infiltration using integrated data and the correlation of each immune-related gene with key genes of the integrated expression matrix. The present study identified 648 differentially expressed mRNAs, 201 differentially expressed miRNAs, and 163 differentially expressed lncRNAs. Protein-protein interaction network analysis confirmed that ADRA1A, AVPR1B, OPN4, IL-1B, IL-1A, CXCL4, ADCY2, CXCL12, GNB4, CCL20, CXCL8, and CXCL1 were hub genes. CTD-2314B22.3, hsa-miR-653-5p, and KIF17ceRNA; SRGAP3-AS2, hsa-miR-539-5p, and SHANK1; CERS6-AS1, hsa-miR-497-5p, and OPN4; INTS6-AS1, hsa-miR-4262, and NEURL1B; TTN-AS1, hsa-miR-376b-3p, and TRPM5; and DLX6-AS1, hsa-miR-346, and BIRC7 axes were obtained by constructing the ceRNA networks. Through the immune infiltration analysis, we found that the proportion of CD4 and CD8 T cells was about 20%, and the proportion of fibroblasts and endothelial cells was high. Our findings provide some insights into the mechanisms of RNA interaction in TR-induced right ventricular cardiomyopathy and suggest that lncRNAs are a potential therapeutic target for treating right ventricular myocardial disease induced by TR.

Project description:BackgroundWhether to repair nonsevere tricuspid regurgitation (TR) during surgery for ischemic mitral valve regurgitation (IMR) remains uncertain.ObjectivesThe goal of this study was to investigate the incidence, predictors, and clinical significance of TR progression and presence of ≥moderate TR after IMR surgery.MethodsPatients (n = 492) with untreated nonsevere TR within 2 prospectively randomized IMR trials were included. Key outcomes were TR progression (either progression by ≥2 grades, surgery for TR, or severe TR at 2 years) and presence of ≥moderate TR at 2 years.ResultsPatients' mean age was 66 ± 10 years (67% male), and TR distribution was 60% ≤trace, 31% mild, and 9% moderate. Among 2-year survivors, TR progression occurred in 20 (6%) of 325 patients. Baseline tricuspid annular diameter (TAD) was not predictive of TR progression. At 2 years, 37 (11%) of 323 patients had ≥moderate TR. Baseline TR grade, indexed TAD, and surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation were independent predictors of ≥moderate TR. However, TAD alone had poor discrimination (area under the curve, ≤0.65). Presence of ≥moderate TR at 2 years was higher in patients with MR recurrence (20% vs. 9%; p = 0.02) and a permanent pacemaker/defibrillator (19% vs. 9%; p = 0.01). Clinical event rates (composite of ≥1 New York Heart Association functional class increase, heart failure hospitalization, mitral valve surgery, and stroke) were higher in patients with TR progression (55% vs. 23%; p = 0.003) and ≥moderate TR at 2 years (38% vs. 22%; p = 0.04).ConclusionsAfter IMR surgery, progression of unrepaired nonsevere TR is uncommon. Baseline TAD is not predictive of TR progression and is poorly discriminative of ≥moderate TR at 2 years. TR progression and presence of ≥moderate TR are associated with clinical events.
