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

三尖瓣疾病是一种常见的疾病，与预后差有关，并且很少有可用的治疗选择。该项目的目的是提高我们对三尖瓣疾病负担的理解，以及驱动其发生和发展的因素。我们也致力于改进我们的心脏起搏器/除颤器插入的做法（这可能会损伤三尖瓣）。我们的调查将有助于改善这种情况的治疗，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.
