Abstract
The study aim was to evaluate whether, in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR), tricuspid valve remodeling was independent of the degree of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) present. Whether any differences in the analysis remodeling, as assessed by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography, can be demonstrated was also addressed.
