Prognostic implications of atrial vs. ventricular functional tricuspid regurgitation.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (AFTR) has shown distinctive pathophysiological and anatomical differences compared with ventricular functional tricuspid regurgitation (VFTR) with potential implications for interventions. However, little is known about the difference in long-term prognosis between these two FTR-aetiologies, which was investigated in the current study.

Methods and results

Patients with severe FTR were divided into two aetiologies, based on echocardiography: AFTR and VFTR. VFTR was further subdivided into (i) left-sided cardiac disease; (ii) pulmonary hypertension; and (iii) right ventricular dysfunction. Long-term mortality rates were compared and independent associates of all-cause mortality were investigated.A total of 1037 patients with seve
