Overview
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is usually adequate for the evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation; to confirm the diagnosis, determine the etiology, establish the baseline severity and for the assessment of the function of the right ventricle prior to surgery. In cases of non-diagnostic transthoracic studies, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) improves the visualization of the valvular structure and delineates the mechanism and severity of regurgitation.[1]
Echocardiography
Echocardiography with Doppler is the method of choice for the non-invasive detection and evaluation of the severity and etiology of valvular regurgitation. Echocardiography allows the evaluation of the following:[2]
- Right ventricle structure and function
- Right atrium structure and function
- Inferior vena cava
- The structure and function of the left chambers of the heart
- The structures of the tricuspid valve and the underlying etiology of mitral regurgitation
- Pulmonary artery pressure
- Pressures in the heart chambers
- The severity of the tricuspid regurgitation through the measurement of:
- The tricuspid annular diameter in the apical 4-chamber view
- Tricuspid valve leaflet tethering height
- Tricuspid valve leaflet tethering area
- Tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity signal
- Characteristic primary valvular abnormalities can be detected by tricuspid valve motion which includes the conditions like:
- Ebstein's anomaly
- Carcinoid heart disease
- Rheumatic valve disease
- Tricuspid valve prolapse
- Flail leaflet
- Endocarditis

2014 AHA/ACC Guideline for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease: Executive Summary[2]
| Class I |
| "1. TTE is indicated to evaluate severity of TR, determine etiology, measure sizes of right-sided chambers and inferior vena cava, assess RV systolic function, estimate pulmonary artery systolic pressure, and characterize any associated left-sided heart disease. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| Class IIb |
| "1. CMR or real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography may be considered for assessment of RV systolic function and systolic and diastolic volumes in patients with severe TR (stages C and D) and suboptimal 2-dimensional echocardiograms. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
==2008 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease - Evaluation of Tricuspid Valve Disease in Adolescents and Young Adults(DO NOT EDIT)[3]
| Class I |
| "1. Doppler echocardiography is indicated for the initial evaluation of adolescent and young adult patients with TR, and serially every 1 to 3 years, depending on severity. (Level C)" |
