Evidence of tricuspid valve remodeling in patients with severe mitral regurgitation independently of degree of functional tricuspid regurgitation: a two- and three-dimensional echocardiographic study.

摘要

In patients with severe MR, tricuspid valve remodeling was also demonstrated in those with trivial/mild FTR, but was better characterized by 3D echocardiography. Tricuspid valve remodeling and right ventricular dilation were the main determinants of tricuspid valve regurgitation.
