Overview
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding. TR is mostly a trace or mild regurgitation and has no symptoms when pulmonary hypertension and heart failure are absent.[1] Opposite to trace and mild MR, moderate and severe TR are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The higher the severity of TR is, the worse the prognosis is.[1]
Natural History
TR is a common valvular abnormality. TR is mostly a trace or mild regurgitation and has no symptoms when pulmonary hypertension and heart failure are absent.[1]
When symptoms are present, they develop progressively. TR can be present in isolation or associated with other medical conditions.
TR commonly occurs among patients with mild/moderate mitral regurgitation (MR) or mitral stenosis. Approximately 30-50% of patients with MR have concomitant TR.[2][3] Isolated mitral valve surgery for mitral valve abnormalities is associated with no improvement of TR in the majority of patients.[4] Tricuspid valve surgery at the time of operation for left-sided valvulopathy significantly decreases the rate of post-operative residual MR.[5]
Complications
Prognosis
Opposite to trace and mild MR, moderate and severe TR are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The higher the severity of TR is, the worse the prognosis is.[1][8][3]
Residual right ventricular function is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality following tricuspid valve surgery.
Factors associated with postoperative residual TR following isolated mitral valve surgery among patients with MR and concomitant TR include:[9]
- Excessively dilated left atrium
- Atrial fibrillation
- Preoperative TR (2+)
