The prevalence, aetiologies, and clinical consequences of tricuspid regurgitation associated with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The prevalence, the aetiologies, and the clinical features of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the context of concomitant degenerative mitral valve (MV) disease are poorly defined. This paper aims to assess the prevalence, determinants, and clinical consequences of TR in severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR).

Methods and results

Clinical and echocardiographic characteristics were collected among patients with severe DMR. A total of 884 patients were included in our study, 31% with ≥ moderate TR. Tricuspid valve prolapse (TVP) was the most common aetiology (487 patients, 55%), followed by atrial functional TR (AFTR, 172 patients, 19%) and ventricular functional TR (VFTR, 42 patients, 5%), while TR aetiology was classified as mixed in 183 (21%) patients.
