Natural history and mid-term prognosis of severe tricuspid regurgitation: A cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of this study was to characterize a population of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) evaluated at a tertiary care center, assess mid-term clinical outcomes, and identify prognostic factors.
