Risks of Tricuspid Regurgitation
Mild tricuspid regurgitation typically poses no significant health risks. However, severe tricuspid regurgitation may lead to arrhythmias, heart failure, angina pectoris, dyspnea, and even syncope—posing serious health risks. Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation require prompt evaluation and treatment, primarily focused on protective medical management; surgical intervention may be necessary in certain cases.
