Clinical impact of tricuspid regurgitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The clinical impact of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify the prevalence and prognostic impact of TR in post-AMI patients treated with appropriate primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods and results

Three hundred fifty-one consecutive patients with first-onset AMI who underwent successful primary PCI from July 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively examined. Standard two- and three-dimensional echocardiography were performed at discharge. Based on the presence or absence of mild or greater TR, patients were divided into TR (+) and TR (-) groups, respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as
