About

Dr. Sohum Kapadia is a cardiovascular researcher whose work focuses on valvular heart disease, particularly the geometry and surgical management of the tricuspid and mitral valves. His key contributions center on refining criteria for concomitant tricuspid valve repair during mitral valve surgery, a critical area where guideline-based decisions can significantly impact patient outcomes. In his notable 2021 study, "Tricuspid annular dimensions in patients with severe mitral regurgitation without severe tricuspid regurgitation," Dr. Kapadia systematically analyzed tricuspid valve annulus geometry in control subjects and patients with severe mitral regurgitation, providing essential data to guide surgeons in determining when prophylactic tricuspid repair is warranted. This work has accumulated 3 citations and contributes to the growing evidence base supporting annular dilation as a key surgical trigger. Dr. Kapadia’s research helps bridge the gap between imaging-derived anatomical insights and clinical decision-making, ultimately aiming to reduce the incidence of late tricuspid regurgitation and reoperation. His findings are particularly valuable for cardiologists and cardiac surgeons seeking to optimize valve repair strategies and improve long-term patient outcomes.
