Transcatheter mitral and tricuspid interventions-the bigger picture: valvular disease as part of heart failure.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of mitral (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR), especially in heart failure (HF) populations, is high. However, the distinct role of atrioventricular valve diseases in HF, whether they are merely indicators of disease status or rather independent contributors in a vicious disease cycle, is still not fully understood. For decades, tricuspid regurgitation (TR) was considered an innocent bystander subsequent to other heart or lung pathologies, thus, not needing dedicated treatment. Recent increasing awareness towards the role of atrioventricular valve diseases has revealed that MR and TR are, in fact, independent predictors of outcome in HF, thus, warranting attention in the HF treatment algorithm. This awareness arose, especially, with the development of minimally invasive tr
