Overview
A chest X-ray is a useful test during the initial evaluation as well as during follow-up among adolescent and young adult patients with tricuspid regurgitation.[1]
Chest X-ray
The chest x-ray in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation may reveal cardiomegaly with evidence of right atrial and ventricular enlargement. Radiologic findings suggestive of underlying left-sided cardiac abnormalities can also be seen.
