Mortality and morbidity associated with tricuspid<br />
regurgitation occurring after MV surgery<br />
The early mortality, long-term survival, freedom from heart failure,<br />
and functional outcome are all significantly worse for patients with<br />
severe tricuspid regurgitation compared to those without severe<br />
regurgitation<br />
Moderate tricuspid regurgitation, is also associated with inferior<br />
survival, but to a lesser degree than for severe regurgitation (79% 1year<br />
survival for moderate, compared to 64% for severe and 90% to<br />
92% for patients with mild or none, respectively)<br />
