Overview
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) results in a retrograde flow of blood into the right atrium due to the incompetent tricuspid valve. The pathophysiology of TR depends on whether TR is primary or secondary. Primary TR results from an organic abnormality in one or more parts of the tricuspid valve, such as the leaflets, chordae tendineae, or papillary muscles. Secondary TR commonly results from hemodynamic and structural changes in the right ventricle and tricuspid valve apparatus secondary to left-sided heart pathology and/or pulmonary hypertension. Tricuspid annular dilation is the most important factor in the pathophysiology of secondary TR. In addition, tethering of the leaflets and inadequate leaflet coaptation also contribute to secondary TR.
Pathophysiology
The Tricuspid Valve Apparatus
The tricuspid valve apparatus includes the following structures:[1][2][3][4][5][6][1]
- Leaflets: septal, anterior, and posterior
- Chordae tendineae
- Papillary muscles
Primary Tricuspid Regurgitation
Primary TR results from an organic abnormality in one or more parts of the tricuspid valve. Conditions that might contribute to the primary distortion of the tricuspid valve include rheumatic heart disease and congenital, iatrogenic, or infectious etiologies.[5][7]
Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation
More than 80% of the cases of TR seen in clinical practice is secondary(functional) in nature and related to tricuspid annular dilatation and leaflet tethering in the setting of right ventricular remodelling caused by pressure or volume overload (or both), myocardial infarction, or trauma.[6] The underlying pathophysiology of secondary TR involves the following changes:[1][8][9][10][11]
- Left heart failure and/or pulmonary hypertension causes dilation of the right ventricle and subsequent tricuspid annular dilation.
- The tricuspid annular dilatation leads to a disruption of the coordinated function of the papillary muscle, tricuspid leaflets and the tricuspid annulus, causing tethering of the leaflets.
- When secondary TR is present, it causes further progressive right ventricular remodelling which distort normal leaflet coaptation.
In summary, tricuspid annular dilation is the most important factor in the pathophysiology of secondary TR, though tethering of the leaflets and inadequate leaflet coaptation also contribute to secondary TR.[1]
