Why the study?
Does high tricuspid regurgitation velocity (>2.5 m/s) predict mortality and heart failure hospitalization in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?
Does high tricuspid regurgitation velocity (>2.5 m/s) predict mortality and heart failure hospitalization in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?
High tricuspid regurgitation velocity (>2.5 m/s) on Doppler echocardiography is a strong independent predictor of mortality and heart failure hospitalization in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

High TR velocity was associated with higher mortality in dilated cardiomyopathy; leaves open its incremental prognostic value and need for prospective validation.
Abramson et al. (1992) studied this question.
