Overview

The main therapy to tricuspid regurgitation is treatment of underlying cause. The aim of medical therapy among patients with tricuspid regurgitation is to treat right heart failure, left heart failure, and/or pulmonary hypertension in case they are present. Medical therapy with diuretics is given to reduce volume overload. Treatment with medications such as vasodilators to relieve pulmonary hypertension may also be of benefit.

Medical Therapy

Right Heart Failure

Left Heart Failure

  • If left heart failure is present, the therapeutic strategy should be targeted towards the treatment of the underlying pathophysiological mechanism.
  • Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction with beta-blockers, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and digitalis.

Pulmonary Hypertension

Pregnancy

  • In patients with tricuspid regurgitation who are pregnant can be managed by evaluated the following:[6][7][8][9][10][11]
    • Timing
    • Preconception evaluation
    • Echocardiographic assessment
    • Exercise testing
    • Biomarkers can predict the cardiovascular complications in pregnancy and the following can be used to elevate:
      • N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide
      • B-type natriuretic peptide
    • Medications
      • Review of the patients current medications and should consider lowering or to stop some of medications that might be teratogenic.


2014 AHA/ACC Guideline for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[12][13][14]

Class IIa
"1. Diuretics can be useful for patients with severe TR and signs of right-sided HF (stage D). (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIb
"1. Medical therapies to reduce elevated pulmonary artery pressures and/or pulmonary vascular resistance might be considered in patients with severe functional TR (stages C and D). (Level of Evidence: C)"
