Overview
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.
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of tricuspid regurgitation include:[1][2]
- 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
- Trauma which includes:
- Right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy
- Blunt chest wall trauma like stab wounds and projectiles
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of tricuspid regurgitation include:
