Multimodal Imaging Assessment of Tricuspid Regurgitation and the Right Ventricle

Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation is a relatively common and progressive valvular heart disease that significantly affects quality of life and is associated with high mortalities as severity increases. Multimodality imaging is crucial for diagnosis, detailed assessment of the right heart and tricuspid valve, and selecting the most appropriate treatment strategy. This article reviews currently used imaging modalities-echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and cardiac computed tomography-and their applicability in clinical practice.

Keywords: Multimodality imaging; Right ventricle; Tricuspid regurgitation.
