Overview
Cardiac catheterization may be useful in the evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation when the results of the non-invasive testing are insufficient.[1]
Cardiac catheterization
Cardiac catheterization might be performed when there is lack of consistency between the clinical findings and the results of the non-invasive testing in order to rule out cardiac etiologies or pulmonary hypertension as the cause of the patient's symptoms.[2] Right ventriculography and hemodynamic assessment by cardiac catheterization are used to assess the function of the right ventricle and estimate the severity of the valvular regurgitation.

| "1. Invasive measurement of pulmonary artery pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance can be useful in patients with TR when clinical and noninvasive data regarding their values are discordant. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
