This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study aimed at characterizing tricuspid valve remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) without significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR), in relation to AF burden progression.
Consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal or persistent) undergoing transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) prior to AF ablation with acquisition of a 3D TV dataset.
all consecutive patients with structurally normal hearts and no history of AF or;
moderate atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation and AF, in the absence of significant left-sided valvular disease or prior valvular surgery.
Moderate or greater TR assessed using a multiparametric approach;
Arrhythmias other than AF;
Prior AF ablations;
Rapid ventricular response (average HR >110 bpm) during baseline TTE;
