Tricuspid Regurgitation Stratification Predicts the Time Course of Systemic Right Ventricle Dysfunction Among Patients on ACE-I/ARB.

ABSTRACT: Progressive systemic right ventricle (sRV) dysfunction is a significant challenge in adult congenital heart disease. Current guidelines do not specify effective heart failure medications for patients with sRV; however, previous studies have relied on semiquantitative assessments. The advancement of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging as the gold-standard modality offers quantitatively accurate assessments even for complex cardiac anomalies. Therefore, we aimed to investigate prognostic factors associated with sRV dysfunction in patients on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACE-I/ARB), using CMR-derived quantitative values. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 17 adult patients with sRV treated with ACE-I/ARB and performed logistic regressi
