Impact of oncologic diseases on outcome in patients with severe isolated tricuspid regurgitation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Isolated TR, defined as TR without overt heart disease, is typical and offers limited cardiac treatment options other than interventional repair or replacement. Survival history of cancer or active cancer treatment may lead to an unnecessary delay of TR treatment.
