Overview
The main therapy to tricuspid regurgitation is treatment of underlying cause. The aim of medical therapy among patients with tricuspid regurgitation is to treat right heart failure, left heart failure, and/or pulmonary hypertension in case they are present. Medical therapy with diuretics is given to reduce volume overload. Treatment with medications such as vasodilators to relieve pulmonary hypertension may also be of benefit.
Medical Therapy
- The majority of cases of tricuspid regurgitation are require and can be approached by the medical therapy alone.
- In patients with tricuspid regurgitation the physician should instruct the patient to reduce the overall salt intake.
- In patients with tricuspid regurgitation intervention with medical therapy can be done for the following:[1]
Right Heart Failure
- Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and symptoms of right heart failure should receive diuretics in order to reduce the following:[2]
- Volume overload
- Peripheral edema
- Ascites
- Loop diuretics are commonly used to relive some of the symptoms from the volume overload.
- Aldosterone antagonists can be beneficial among patients with hyperaldosteronism secondary to hepatic congestion.
- Diuretics should be administered intravenously whenever the patient has intestinal edema as oral treatment with diuretics is inefficacious.[3]
Left Heart Failure
- If left heart failure is present, the therapeutic strategy should be targeted towards the treatment of the underlying pathophysiological mechanism.
- Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction with beta-blockers, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and digitalis.
Pulmonary Hypertension
- The selective use of pulmonary vasodilators in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension may improve the valvular regurgitation.[4][5]
Pregnancy
- In patients with tricuspid regurgitation who are pregnant can be managed by evaluated the following:[6][7][8][9][10][11]
- Timing
- Preconception evaluation
- Echocardiographic assessment
- Exercise testing
- Biomarkers can predict the cardiovascular complications in pregnancy and the following can be used to elevate:
- N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide
- B-type natriuretic peptide
- Medications
- Review of the patients current medications and should consider lowering or to stop some of medications that might be teratogenic.

| Class IIa |
| "1. Diuretics can be useful for patients with severe TR and signs of right-sided HF (stage D). (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| Class IIb |
| "1. Medical therapies to reduce elevated pulmonary artery pressures and/or pulmonary vascular resistance might be considered in patients with severe functional TR (stages C and D). (Level of Evidence: C)" |
