Prevalence and contributing factors associated with tricuspid regurgitation among patients underwent echocardiography assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common in patients evaluated by echocardiography. However, the prevalence and contributing factors of the disease remain limited. This hospital-based study was designed to analyze adult patients first diagnosed with tricuspid regurgitation by Doppler echocardiography to determine the prevalence and characteristics of clinically meaningful TR.

Methods

A total of 22,317 patients over the age of 18 who underwent echocardiography at the Cardiac Ultrasound Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019 were collected.
