Prognostic Impact of RV Strain in Isolated Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation
Hinojar R, Zamorano J, Gonzalez Gomez A, Garcia-Martin A, Monteagudo JM, Lunar G, Recalde A, Fernandez-Golfin C
Right ventricular (RV) systolic function is an established marker of outcomes in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Timely detection of RV dysfunction using conventional two-dimensional echocardiography is challenging. RV strain has emerged as an accurate and sensitive tool for the evaluation of RV function, with the capability to detect subclinical RV dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of RV strain parameters in early stages of severe TR.
Accreditation Statement:
The American Society of Echocardiography is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The American Society of Echocardiography designates this activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)â„¢. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) MOC program, and/or the American Board of Anesthesiology’s (ABA) Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program® or MOCA 2.0®. It is ASE’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM and ABP MOC points and/or ABA MOCA 2.0®. Physicians will earn MOC and/or MOCA 2.0 points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity.
ARDMS, CCI, and Sonography Canada recognize ASE’s certificates and have agreed to honor the CME credit hours toward their registry requirements for sonographers.
Release Date: June 2, 2023

Course/Activity Information

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define current formal indications for tricuspid valve intervention in both primary and secondary TR
  2. Appreciate why isolated echocardiographic assessment of the RV for determining timing of TV intervention is both inaccurate and inconsistent
  3. Evaluate the severity of TR according to currently available guidelines
  4. Recognize the four major etiologies of tricuspid regurgitation
  5. Apply RV free wall longitudinal strain (FWLS) to predict clinical outcomes
