[[Tricuspid regurgitation]] (TR) results in a retrograde flow of blood into the [[right atrium]] due to the incompetent [[tricuspid valve]]. The [[pathophysiology]] of TR depends on whether TR is primary or secondary.  Primary TR results from an organic abnormality in one or more parts of the [[tricuspid valve]], such as the leaflets, [[chordae tendineae]], or [[papillary muscle]]s. Secondary TR commonly results from [[Hemodynamics|hemodynamic]] and structural changes in the [[right ventricle]] and [[tricuspid valve]] apparatus secondary to left-sided heart [[pathology]] and/or [[pulmonary hypertension]]. [[Tricuspid]] annular dilation is the most important factor in the [[pathophysiology]] of secondary TR. In addition, tethering of the leaflets and inadequate leaflet coaptation also contribute to secondary TR.
Tricuspid regurgitation refers to the failure of the [[tricuspid valve]] to close properly during [[systole]]. As a result, with each heart beat some blood passes from the [[right ventricle]] to the [[right atrium]], the opposite of the normal direction.

Overview

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) results in a retrograde flow of blood into the right atrium due to the incompetent tricuspid valve. The pathophysiology of TR depends on whether TR is primary or secondary. Primary TR results from an organic abnormality in one or more parts of the tricuspid valve, such as the leaflets, chordae tendineae, or papillary muscles. Secondary TR commonly results from hemodynamic and structural changes in the right ventricle and tricuspid valve apparatus secondary to left-sided heart pathology and/or pulmonary hypertension. Tricuspid annular dilation is the most important factor in the pathophysiology of secondary TR. In addition, tethering of the leaflets and inadequate leaflet coaptation also contribute to secondary TR.

Pathophysiology

The Tricuspid Valve Apparatus

The tricuspid valve apparatus includes the following structures:[1][2][3][4][5][6][1]

Pathogenesis

Primary Tricuspid Regurgitation

Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation

  • The most common cause of tricuspid regurgitation in adults is secondary / functional which can be defined as without anatomical anomalies and normal leaflet and chords structure.
  • More than 80% of the cases of TR seen in clinical practice is secondary(functional) in nature and related to tricuspid annular dilatation and leaflet tethering in the setting of right ventricular remodelling caused by pressure or volume overload (or both), myocardial infarction, or trauma.[6][18]
  • The underlying pathophysiology of secondary TR involves the following changes:[1][19][20][21][22]
  • In summary, tricuspid annular dilation is the most important factor in the pathophysiology of secondary TR, though tethering of the leaflets and inadequate leaflet coaptation also contribute to secondary TR.[1]
