Abstract
Endocardial leads, permanent pacemaker (PPM), or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placed across the tricuspid valve can lead to tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The reported incidence of this complication has varied widely. There are limited data predicting which patients will develop this complication. This study sought to describe the incidence of worsening TR post-PPM or ICD and to identify patient-specific predictors of increased TR following lead placement.
