Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York–Presbyterian Hospital
PDF202316 pages4.2 MB
Historically, the tricuspid valve was considered a passive structure, but recent studies have shown its significant role in heart function. The article emphasizes that tricuspid regurgitation is frequently diagnosed in patients with coexisting conditions, leading to misconceptions about its severity. It discusses the natural history of the condition and the need for timely intervention, as survival rates decrease with increasing severity. The review also outlines current guidelines for treatment and the impact of left heart disease on tricuspid regurgitation.
