Overview
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding. TR is mostly a trace or mild regurgitation and usually has no symptoms when pulmonary hypertension and heart failure are absent.[1] However, moderate and severe TR are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The more severe the TR, the worse the prognosis.[1]
Natural History
TR is a common valvular abnormality usually presenting with no symptoms when pulmonary hypertension and heart failure are absent.[1] When symptoms are present, they develop progressively. TR might not be recognised clinically until fairly late in its natural history.[2]Patients with significant TR may remain asymptomatic, despite impaired right ventricular function.[3] Approximately 30% to 50% of patients with severe MR have significant secondary TR.[3][4]Significant degrees of TR has been noted with the onset of atrial fibrillation, especially in older patients above 75years of age.[2] TR can be present in isolation or associated with other medical conditions. TR commonly occurs among patients with mild/moderate mitral regurgitation (MR) or mitral stenosis. Approximately 30-50% of patients with MR have concomitant TR.[5][6] Severe TR with pulmonary hypertension/right ventricular dysfunction has a worse prognosis and frequently requires surgical intervention. Isolated mitral valve surgery for mitral valve abnormalities is associated with no improvement of TR in the majority of patients.[7] It is also not uncommon to have residual TR following isolated left-sided valve surgery, especially when some preoperative risk factors are present.[8] Tricuspid valve surgery at the time of left-sided valvulopathy decreases the rate of post-operative residual tricuspid regurgitation.[9]
Risk factors for residual TR following isolated left-sided valve surgery
There is an increased risk of residual tricuspid regurgitation following isolated left-sided valve surgery if the following preoperative risk factors are present:[8]
- Older age
- Female gender
- Atrial fibrillation
- Rheumatic etiology
- Mitral valve surgery
- Previous valve surgery
- Long duration of left-sided valve disease before surgery
- 2+/3+ preoperative TR
- Enlarged left and right atria
Complications
Complications of tricuspid regurgitation include:[10][11][12]
- Right heart failure
- Atrial arrhythmia
- Ventricular arrhythmia
- Cirrhosis
- Endocarditis
- Weight loss
- Anorexia
Prognosis
Increased morbidity and mortality associated with moderate and severe TR. The higher the severity of the TR, the worse the prognosis.[1][13][6] Severe isolated TR is associated with a worse prognosis compared to the general population.[14] Right ventricular dysfunction is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality following tricuspid valve surgery.[15] Residual TR following TV repair during concomitant left-sided valve surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.[16]
