Atrial Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation: Contemporary Characteristics, Outcomes, and Novel Risk Score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite increasing clinical recognition of atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (AF-TR), there remains limited literature regarding the characteristics, outcomes, and adverse prognosticators for this valve lesion.

Objectives

This study aimed to elucidate clinical and echocardiographic characteristics and outcomes and to develop a novel risk model in a large cohort of patients with significant AF-TR.

Methods

Consecutive patients with at least moderate-to-severe AF-TR seen between January 2004 and December 2018 were retrospectively studied. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression (OR) were conducted to determine the risk factors and develop novel risk scores for 1-year all-cause mortality.

Results

Among 370 patients with AF-TR (mean age
