CMR Thresholds for RV Indices Proposed in Selected Prospective Studies of TR Patients

First Author Year Study Type Patient
Population
Primary Endpoint N Follow-Up RV Parameters Associated With the Primary Outcome HR CMR Details
Park et al 2016 Prospective cohort Patients undergoing surgery for severe functional TR 5.8 y: Cardiac death 75 Median 57 mo RV EF (%):≥46 vs <46
RV ESVI (mL/m2): ≥76 vs <76
RV EF aHR: 0.714 (95% CI: 0.528-0.966)
RV ESVI aHR: 1.183 (95% CI: 1.025-1.365)
Steady-state free-precession
Hinojar et al 2021 Prospective cohort Patients with significant TR 5-y: A composite of hospital admission due to right heart failure and cardiovascular mortality 75 Median 3 y eRVEF (%) ≥24 vs <24
RV strain (%) −14 (HR: 4.76)
eRVEF: HR
per 1% aHR: 0.91 (0.87-0.95)
RV strain per 1% aHR: 1.24 (95% CI: 1.11-1.39)
Steady-state free-precession
Ahn et al 2021 Prospective cohort Patients who underwent TV surgery for functional TR were comprehensively reviewed 10 y: MACE and all-cause mortality 78 Median 5.4 y Systolic RVMI <22 vs ≥22.0 RVMI: HR per increase of 5 mL/m2 = 1.75 Steady-state free-precession

aHR = adjusted HR; CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance; EF = ejection fraction; eRVEF = effective right ventricular ejection fraction; MACE = major adverse cardiovascular events; RV = right ventricular; RV ESVI = right ventricular end-systolic volume index; RVMI = right ventricular motion index; TR = tricuspid regurgitation; TV = tricuspid valve.
