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

三尖瓣疾病很常见，预后较差，几乎没有可供选择的治疗方法。这个项目的目的是为了提高我们对三尖瓣疾病的负担，以及驱动其发生和发展的因素的了解。我们还打算改进我们的起搏器/除颤器植入(这可能会损伤三尖瓣)的做法。我们的研究将有助于为这种疾病的治疗提供改进的信息，包括微创选择。

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.
