Overview
Most cases of significant tricuspid regurgitation are due to tricuspid annular dilation and leaflet tethering secondary to right ventricular remodeling from volume and/or pressure overload. Such dilation leads to derangement of the normal anatomy and mechanics of the tricuspid valve and the muscles governing its proper function. The result is incompetence of the tricuspid valve. Common causes of right ventricular dilation include left heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and right ventricular infarction.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes of TR, which encompass conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated, include:[1][2][3]
- Acute cardiac allograft rejection
- Acute coronary syndrome
- Blunt or penetrating chest trauma
- Infective endocarditis
- Myocardial rupture
- Papillary muscle rupture from ischemic heart disease
- Pulmonary embolism
Common Causes
Common causes of primary tricuspid regurgitation may include:[4][5][6][7][8]
Congenital disease
- Ebstein’s anomaly
- Tricuspid valve dysplasia, hypoplasia, or cleft
- Double orifice tricuspid valve
Genetic causes
Some genetic conditions may cause TR which includes the following:[9][10]
Acquired disease
- Marantic endocarditis
- Rheumatic disease (with left-sided disease)
- Carcinoid syndrome
- Drug-induced tricuspid regurgitation by using drugs like fenfluramine, phentermine and pergolide[11][12]
- Tricuspid valve prolapse
- Endomyocardial biopsy in cardiac transplant recipients
- Ischemic heart diseases
- Radiation
- Cardiac device (permanent pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) leads
- Trauma
- Degenerated bioprosthesis
Common causes of secondary tricuspid regurgitation may include:[4][14]
- Right ventricular and tricuspid annular dilatation
- Left-sided valvular and/or myocardial disease
- Pulmonary hypertension independent of left-sided cardiac pathology
- Right ventricular infarction with remodeling
- Chronic right ventricular pacing (dyssynchrony)
- Atrial fibrillation
