Contemporary insights into the epidemiology, impact and treatment of secondary tricuspid regurgitation across the heart failure spectrum.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Tricuspid regurgitation secondary to heart failure (HF) is common with considerable impact on survival and hospitalization rates. Currently, insights into epidemiology, impact, and treatment of secondary tricuspid regurgitation (sTR) across the entire HF spectrum are lacking, yet are necessary for healthcare decision-making.

Methods and results

This population-based study included data from 13 469 patients with HF and sTR from the Viennese community over a 10-year period. The primary outcome was long-term mortality. Overall, HF with preserved ejection fraction was the most frequent (57%, n = 7733) HF subtype and the burden of comorbidities was high. Severe sTR was present in 1514 patients (11%), most common among patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (20%, n =
