Summary
This observational cohort study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in 2021, tracks the natural history of tricuspid regurgitation in patients who underwent surgical repair for ischaemic mitral regurgitation. The research appears to document TR progression patterns and associated clinical outcomes, as suggested by the multicentre collaborative design and extensive author network indicative of a large prospective registry study. The findings contribute to understanding secondary valve disease progression following mitral surgery.
UK applicability
UK cardiac surgery centres managing patients with ischaemic mitral regurgitation may find the TR progression data relevant to patient counselling and long-term follow-up protocols, though applicability depends on alignment with UK-based surgical techniques and patient demographics.
Key measures
Tricuspid regurgitation severity grade, left ventricular and right ventricular dimensions, functional outcomes, mortality and morbidity events
Outcomes reported
The study examined the progression of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients following surgical repair of ischaemic mitral regurgitation, measuring TR severity and clinical outcomes over time.
