Percutaneous Repair of Atrial Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation in Cardiac Amyloidosis

Abstract

Restrictive physiology, such as cardiac amyloidosis, compromises atrial and ventricular performance, often leading to “atrial” functional valvular regurgitation. While focusing on atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation we aimed at summarizing the pathophysiological characteristics of, and therapeutic options in, cardiac amyloidosis. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
