Preoperative right ventricular longitudinal strain as a prognosticator of postoperative residual or recurrent tricuspid regurgitation in Ebstein anomaly: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The preoperative predictors of residual or recurrent tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after cone reconstruction (CR) remains unclear in patients with Ebstein anomaly (EA). We aimed to determine the predictive value of right ventricular longitudinal strain, assessed using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, for residual or recurrent TR after CR in patients with EA.

Methods

This single-centre, retrospective study analysed data from 48 patients with EA [mean ± standard deviation (SD), age, 35.0±13.6 years; 13 males] who underwent CMR before CR between January 2017 and February 2023. Two-dimensional colour Doppler echocardiography was performed before CR and mid-term (>6 months) after CR to evaluate the degree of TR in patients with EA. Thirty healthy volunteers ser
