Anatomy, epidemiology and aetiology of tricuspid valve disease and its impact on the development of emerging transcatheter therapies

三尖瓣疾病是常见的，与预后差，并有几个可用的治疗方案。该项目的目的是提高我们对三尖瓣疾病负担的理解，以及推动其发生和进展的因素。我们还致力于改进起搏器/除颤器植入（可能损伤三尖瓣）的实践。我们的研究将有助于改善这种疾病的治疗，包括微创治疗。

Tricuspid valve disease is common, associated with poor prognosis and has few available treatment options. The aim of this project is to improve our understanding of the burden of tricuspid valve disease, and the factors that drive its occurrence and progression. We also aim to improve our practice of pacemaker/defibrillator insertion (which can injury the tricuspid valve). Our investigations will help inform improvement in the treatment of this condition, including minimally invasive options.
