Season 2 - Ep.15: Omega-3 fatty acids - Lead induced tricuspid regurgitation
May 9, 2024
Cardiology experts Carlos Aguiar and Deepak Bhatt discuss omega-3 fatty acids benefits and lead-induced tricuspid regurgitation. They explore TAVI outcomes, heart failure, genetic predispositions, and the impact of EPA on cardiovascular health. Martin Andreas provides insights on tricuspid regurgitation in patients with implanted leads. Mythbusters segment examines the effects of pomegranates on heart health.

Quick takeaways
- Transcatheter aortic valve implantation can lead to significant recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction, with improved mortality outcomes.
- Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation can improve heart failure outcomes in patients with reduced ejection fraction, but not in those with preserved ejection fraction.
Deep dives
Transcatheter-awartic valve implantation improves left ventricular function
Transcatheter-awartic valve implantation can lead to recovery of severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in selected patients. A multinational registry study showed that within 60 days post-TAVI, ejection fraction improved by at least 10% in 33% of patients and normalized to 50% or more in 27% of patients, with associated lower 3-year mortality. Recovery was better in patients without previous heart attacks and those with higher mean rewarding valve gradient above 40mm Hg.
