Usually functional and secondary to marked RV dilatation of any cause and often associated with pulmonary hypertension.
Clinical Manifestations
Severe RV failure, with edema, hepatomegaly, and prominent v waves in jugular venous pulse with rapid y descent . Systolic murmur along lower left sternal edge is increased by inspiration. Doppler echocardiography confirms diagnosis and estimates severity.
Tricuspid Regurgitation TREATMENT
Intensive diuretic therapy when right-sided heart failure signs are present. In severe cases (in absence of severe pulmonary hypertension), surgical treatment consists of tricuspid annuloplasty or valve replacement.
