Patients with moderate tricuspid regurgitation should promptly visit the Department of Cardiology at a reputable public Grade-III, Class-A hospital for evaluation and diagnosis to identify the underlying cause and clarify the disease severity. A specialist cardiologist will actively treat the primary condition based on its etiology. Additionally, conservative management or surgical intervention will be selected according to the patient’s specific clinical status to prevent disease progression. Strict adherence to the physician’s treatment plan is essential. Patients should also focus on proper self-care and health maintenance—avoiding excessive physical exertion and sleep deprivation, managing emotional stress, and maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet.
