Article Synopsis
- * TR prevalence was found to be 19.8%, with higher rates in the early months post-transplant, significantly linked to primary graft dysfunction (PGD) initially.
- * Over time, the causes of TR evolved, transitioning from PGD early on to rejection in the medium term, and eventually to long-term complications like cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) after five years.
Tricuspid valve disease is the most frequent valvulopathy after heart transplantation (HTx). Evidence for the negative effect of post-transplant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on survival is contradictory. The aim of this study was to analyze the causes of post-transplant TR and its effect on overall mortality.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-centre study of 222 HT recipients. Risk factors for CMV infection were identified by means of multivariable Cox́s regression.
