AI Article Synopsis
- * Surgical intervention is advised for those with severe symptoms or significant dilation of the tricuspid annulus, particularly during left heart valve surgery.
- * There's a pressing need to improve our understanding and measurement of secondary tricuspid regurgitation, especially as new minimally invasive treatment options become available.
Article Abstract
Tricuspid regurgitation has long been a neglected and underestimated entity; its prevalence is significant, and is increasing with the ageing population. Tricuspid regurgitation is often a consequence of chronic left cardiac pathologies or atrial fibrillation. Surgical treatment is recommended for patients with severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation or tricuspid annulus dilatation at the time of left heart valve surgery. Secondary tricuspid regurgitation is a complex disease; this review focuses on the need for better understanding of its mechanisms and quantification - mandatory with the advent of new percutaneous treatments.
