Prevalence, Mechanisms, and Outcome of Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation in the Elderly
Status: Active_not_recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is the second most common VHD after MR. Its prevalence also increases with age, with an estimated incidence of up to 6% in elderly population. When adjusted to age (among other confounders), survival is worse for patients with moderate and severe TR. We aim to explore the prevalence, mechanisms, and clinical implications of tricuspid valve regurgitation in elderly subjects screened at a tertiary center in Cairo, Egypt.
