Heightened interest in tricuspid regurgitation (TR) stems from its association with increased mortality and the low utilization of surgical interventions despite high in-hospital mortality rates. The document emphasizes the need for a better understanding of the valvular and ventricular anatomy, disease pathophysiology, and accurate diagnosis of TR severity. It also highlights the rapid development of transcatheter solutions that have shown promising safety and efficacy, indicating a shift in the management of this condition.
