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
- Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and symptoms of right heart failure should receive diuretics in order to reduce the following:[1]
- Volume overload
- Peripheral edema
- Ascites
- Loop diuretics are commonly used to relive some of the symptoms from the volume overload.
- Aldosterone antagonists can be beneficial among patients with hyperaldosteronism secondary to hepatic congestion.
- Diuretics should be administered intravenously whenever the patient has intestinal edema as oral treatment with diuretics is inefficacious.[2]
Left Heart Failure
- If left heart failure is present, the therapeutic strategy should be targeted towards the treatment of the underlying pathophysiological mechanism.
Pulmonary Hypertension
- The selective use of pulmonary vasodilators in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension may improve the valvular regurgitation.[3][4]

| 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)" |
