Overview

Supports right atrial assessment in AF-TR evaluation; leaves open whether annular dilatation warrants targeted annuloplasty.

Structured PICO

What are the clinical and echocardiographic differences between functional tricuspid regurgitation caused by chronic atrial fibrillation and left-sided heart disease?

P
Population
Patients with functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) secondary to chronic atrial fibrillation (AF-TR) and left-sided heart disease-TR
C
Comparator
Left-sided heart disease-TR
O
Outcome
Clinical and echocardiographic differences according to functional TR subtypessurrogate

Functional TR secondary to chronic AF is associated with right atrial enlargement and annular dilatation without leaflet deformation, suggesting TV annuloplasty may be an effective treatment.
