Ambulant Monitoring to Detect Hemodynamic and Electrical Impact of Severe Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation

Ambulant Monitoring to Detect Hemodynamic and Electrical Impact of Severe Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation

This exploratory study aims to study the feasibility to detect early signs of disease progression in patients with severe TVR (grade ≥3/4) by monitoring electrical cardiac activity and correlating it with echocardiographic findings. The Byteflies monitoring device will be used for continuous 14-day outpatient ECG tracking. Transthoracic echocardiography will assess structural and pressure changes in the heart and liver. The goal is to improve early detection of right heart failure and hepatic congestion.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) grade ≥3/4 documented on Colour Doppler during routine transthoracic echocardiography
• Normal sinus rhythm
• Dutch speaking

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of cardiac surgery
• Abnormal rhythm at baseline visit
• Age <18 years
