Discover why tricuspid regurgitation aetiology matters for patient outcomes and intervention strategies with Prof Denisa Muraru

This presentation, part of a comprehensive series on complex cases in interventional cardiology, explores how understanding TR mechanisms directly impacts diagnosis, treatment selection, and clinical prognosis.

Prof Muraru addresses the critical heterogeneity in TR patients, revealing that survival outcomes vary dramatically based on underlying aetiology- from left-sided valve disease and LV dysfunction to isolated or congenital forms. The discussion emphasizes how effective RV ejection fraction, when combined with aetiological classification, provides crucial prognostic insights that challenge traditional assumptions about atrial versus ventricular secondary TR. Prof Muraru practical guidance for patient-specific, evidence-based therapy, emphasizing that accurate aetiological diagnosis is not optional for optimal TR management before irreversible damage occurs.
