Tricuspid Valve RegurgitationPacemakerICDLeft Bundle Branch Area Pacing
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to record the incidence of newly developed or worsening tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) following the implantation of a pacemaker or defibrillator with a transvenous lead. To collect this data, a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) with 3D imaging of the tricuspid valve (TV) will be performed before and after pacemaker implantation, with particular emphasis on assessing the tricuspid valve. Additionally, routine follow-up visits will be conducted at 6 and 12 months post-intervention, during which a TTE, ECG, NT-proBNP measurement, and pacemaker check will be performed.

Inclusion Criteria:
* medically indicated for pacemaker, ICD- or CRT implantation
* No previous diagnosis of severe tricuspid regurgitation on enrollment
* No existing transvalvular device (must be first implantation)
* No other diagnosed severe valvular heart disease
* Not previous diagnosis with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension
* No previous diagnosis of structural disease of the right ventricle (i.e. ACM, cardiac sarcoidosis, carcinoid...)
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients unable to give consent
* Under the age of 18 years
* Relevant pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension according to decision of the heart-team (sPAP echo \>70 mmHg)
* Severe tricuspid valve regurgitation (Grade 3 or worse) on enrollment
* Patients who have undergone Lead-explantation
* Exisiting valvular heart disease requiring treatment according to the decision of the heart-team. These patients may be enrolled in the study following treatment.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Worsening of TR of at least 1 grade — over the sutdy period up to 1 year after lead insertion Worsening of tricuspid regurgitation of at least one grade from baseline before lead insertion through tricuspid valve
