Right Heart Failure Devices P&F Products & Features

1. Comprehending Right Heart Failure and Tricuspid Insufficiency Right Heart Failure happens when the right side of the heart cannot efficiently send blood to the lungs. This can cause fluid accumulation in the body, leading to symptoms such as leg swelling (edema), abdominal distention (ascites), fatigue, and difficulty breathing. A significant factor leading to right heart failure is a valve condition referred to as tricuspid regurgitation. What is Tricuspid Insufficiency? The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle of the heart. It acts as a unidirectional valve, permitting blood to flow from the atrium to the ventricle, and then sealing securely to stop any reverse flow. In tricuspid regurgitation, this valve fails to close correctly. Consequently, a portion of the blood flows back into the right atrium when the right ventricle contracts. This reverse flow can greatly decrease the heart's efficiency and result in signs of right heart failure. Factors Leading to Tricuspid Regurgitation There are two main types of causes: Damage to the Valve Structure In certain instances, the valve may sustain damage resulting from situations like: Rheumatic heart disorder Endocarditis (infection of the heart's inner layer) Right ventricular heart attack Valve deterioration (e.g., akin to mitral valve prolapse) Injury to the pacemaker or ICD lead Inborn heart anomalies Marfan syndrome or Carcinoid disorder Functional Tricuspid Reflux Typically, the valve is structurally intact but fails to close correctly due to enlargement in the heart cavities, frequently caused by:

2.
