Why the study?
Tricuspid regurgitation is a common valvular disease that has recently sparked interest after being long forgotten, prompting a detailed review to encourage further research.
This paper provides a detailed review of tricuspid regurgitation anatomy, etiology, diagnostic methods, and medical treatment options.
TR review highlights diagnostic and therapeutic gaps; leaves open need for prospective trials before practice changes.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding. Any changes to the components of the tricuspid valve (TV), such as the tricuspid annulus, valve leaflets, papillary muscles, and chordae tendinae can lead to TR. This valvular disease has recently sparked interest after it was long forgotten. This paper examines the anatomy of the TV, etiology of TR, and critically appraises the diagnostic methods used to assess the TV and the current medical treatment options for TR. This paper aims to give a detailed review of TR in hopes that more research will be conducted to help better assess patients with tricuspid regurgitation.
