Overview
The blowing holosystolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation must be distinguished from mitral regurgitation and a ventricular septal defect.

Severe TR has been documented to mimic some hemodynamic findings in constrictive pericarditis, with right heart catheterization demonstrating a constrictive physiology. Echocardiography, CT thorax, and cardiac MRI useful for ruling out pericardial pathology. |
