Sinus rhythm restoration reverses tricuspid regurgitation in patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common valvular heart disease worldwide, and current guidelines for TR treatment are relatively conservative, as well as with detrimental outcomes. Restoration of sinus rhythm was reported to improve the TR severity in those TR patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, relevant research was limited. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of restoration of sinus rhythm in TR patients with AF.

Methods
