Overview
There are no established risk factors for [disease name].
OR
The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
OR
Common risk factors in the development of tricuspid regurgitation include infections, endocarditis, ebstein anomaly, tricuspid valve prolapse, carcinoid, papillary muscle dysfunction and medications. 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.
Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.

Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.
- Common risk factors in the development of tricuspid regurgitation include:
- Rheumatic heart disease
- Endocarditis is a common risk factor in developing tricuspid regurgitation due to the following:
- Alcoholism
- Intravenous drug use
- Cardiac tumours
- Indwelling catheters which might get infected
- Burns when extensive
- Tricuspid valve prolapse
- Papillary muscle dysfunction
- RV dilatation
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of tricuspid regurgitation include:
- Pregnant mothers who are using lithium are at a risk for developing ebstein anomaly
- Connective-tissue diseases
- Medications which include:[1]
- Fenfluramine
- Phentermine
- Pergolide
