Abstract
Background and objective

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) secondary to interference pacemaker (PM) cable is a rare cause of progressive right heart failure (HF), which can worsen patient outcomes.

Material and methods

We present 3 clinical cases of right HF secondary to TR after PM implantation.

Results

In these patients the clinic is right HF, which can appear early, as in our second patient, or after years of implementation of the PM, as in the first and third patients. The diagnosis is confirmed by echocardiography, the most accurate 3D, followed by transesophageal. The 2D transthoracic cannot detect it, because it has low sensitivity for TR associated with PM. Medical treatment is always the first choice, since any other procedure carries significant morbidity and mortality.

Conclusions

Probably this is a condition that we will diagnose with increasing frequency, because there are more and more patients with devices and, at the same time, the diagnostic tools are improving.

Resumen
Fundamento y objetivo

La insuficiencia tricuspídea (IT) grave secundaria a interferencia del cable del marcapasos (MCP) es una causa infrecuente de insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) derecha progresiva, que puede complicar la evolución del paciente.

Material y métodos

Presentamos 3 casos clínicos de IC derecha secundaria a IT tras implantación de MCP.

Resultados

En estos pacientes la clínica consiste en IC derecha, que puede aparecer de forma precoz, como en nuestra segunda paciente, o al cabo de años de la implantación del MCP, como en el primer y la tercera pacientes. El diagnóstico se confirma por ecocardiografía, siendo la más precisa la 3D, seguida de la transesofágica. La 2D transtorácica puede no detectarla, ya que tiene baja sensibilidad para la IT asociada a MCP. El tratamiento médico es siempre la primera opción, ya que cualquier otro procedimiento conlleva una morbimortalidad significativa.

Conclusiones

Probablemente, esta es una patología que vamos a diagnosticar cada vez con más frecuencia, ya que cada vez hay más pacientes con dispositivos y, al mismo tiempo, están mejorando las herramientas diagnósticas.
