Overview
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may be beneficial when echocardiography findings are inconclusive, particularly before tricuspid valve surgery.[1]
Cardiac magnetic resonance
Cardiac magnetic resonance is useful in evaluating the structure and function of the right atrium and right ventricle as well as the severity of the tricuspid regurgitation, especially when echocardiography is inconclusive

| "1. CMR or real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography may be considered for assessment of RV systolic function and systolic and diastolic volumes in patients with severe TR (stages C and D) and suboptimal 2-dimensional echocardiograms. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
