Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) has a pathophysiological connection with right heart remodeling. Given the increasing focus on right atrial remodeling in recent years, a comprehensive study of all aspects of right heart remodeling is crucial for understanding the progression and treatment of FTR. In the scientific literature, there is a lack of comprehensive exploration of right atrial remodeling in patients with FTR, and no reports on the potential correlation between the degree of this remodeling and the severity of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) have been published. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between right heart parameters measured by four-dimensional (4D) automated quantitative echocardiography and the severity of TR in patients with FTR.
