Cardiac remodelling in secondary tricuspid regurgitation: Should we look beyond the tricuspid annulus diameter?

CONCLUSIONS: For tricuspid regurgitation to be severe or torrential, both right atrial dilatation and leaflet tethering are needed. Interestingly, right cavities dilated progressively with tricuspid regurgitation severity, without joint degradation of right ventricular systolic function variables.
