Key result
Significant tricuspid regurgitation was present in 10.2% of echocardiograms and was most strongly associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (OR 35.8; 95% CI 11.7-110.3; P<0.001).

TR prevalence reaches 10% on routine echo; leaves open whether targeted screening improves outcomes across cardiac pathologies.

Significant tricuspid regurgitation is common (10.2% prevalence) and strongly associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension, valvular heart disease, heart transplantation, and cardiomyopathies, as well as mitral regurgitation.
Meester et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Tricuspid valve regurgitation (n=2,054). Pulmonary arterial hypertension vs. Absence of pulmonary arterial hypertension was evaluated on Significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (graded > 2/4) (OR 35.8, 95% CI 11.7-110.3, p=<0.001). Significant tricuspid regurgitation was present in 10.2% of echocardiograms and was most strongly associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (OR 35.8; 95% CI 11.7-110.3; P<0.001).
