Impact of concomitant tricuspid regurgitation on long-term outcomes in severe aortic stenosis
European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging Aug 06, 2018
Amano M, et al. - Given the association of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with worse survival reported in connection with various heart diseases, researchers determined its impact on long-term outcomes in severe aortic stenosis (AS) in the Contemporary Outcomes after Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis (CURRENT AS) Registry. Participants were 3,815 consecutively enrolled patients with severe AS, 628 patients with moderate or severe TR (TR group) and 3,187 patients with no or mild TR (no TR group). Findings revealed poor long-term outcome in relation to the presence of clinically significant TR concomitant with severe AS. This was observed regardless of the initial treatment strategy.
