Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation.

ABSTRACT: Background The natural history and optimal interventional timing in patients with isolated severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) have not been well studied. This study aimed to investigate long-term clinical outcomes and risk factors associated with poor prognosis in patients with isolated severe TR. Methods and Results Consecutive transthoracic echocardiographic examinations in 2877 patients with isolated severe TR were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with significant left-sided valve disease or repeated examinations were excluded. Primary outcome was defined as a composite of all-cause death and hospitalization for heart failure. Among the 613 enrolled patients (mean age, 74±13 years; men, 38%), 141 died, and 62 were hospitalized for heart failure during the median follow-up period of 2
