Why is it important?
If the size of the tricuspid valve anulus is incorrectly assessed, the wrong operation may be performed on a patient potentially increasing the risk of death from surgery. This paper examines how z scores may be optimally used to assess tricuspid valve anulus size.
Perspectives
This paper could contribute significantly to the standard use of z scores thereby facilitating better surgical decision making and consiquently resulting in better patient outcomes
