Tricuspid Regurgitation Complicating Heart Failure: A Novel Clinical Entity

Rongyang Xi et al. Rev Cardiovasc Med. .

Abstract

With the escalating incidence of heart failure, accurate diagnosis is paramount for tailored therapeutic interventions. The tricuspid valve, particularly tricuspid regurgitation, once relegated as the "forgotten valve", has gained prominence due to increasing evidence implicating severe tricuspid valve disease in the prognosis of diverse cardiovascular conditions. This review delineates recent significant advancements in imaging modalities, transcatheter interventions, and epidemiological and pathophysiological insights regarding tricuspid regurgitation complicating heart failure. A comprehensive understanding of these innovative concepts and technologies can significantly improve patient outcomes.

Keywords: diagnostic imaging; epidemiology; heart failure; transcatheter interventions; tricuspid regurgitation.
