Prognostic implications of functional tricuspid regurgitation in asymptomatic degenerative mitral regurgitation

Abstract Aims Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) associated with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) accentuates the severity of heart failure and is a marker of poor prognosis. Little is known about FTR associated with asymptomatic DMR. Methods and results The study included 1249 asymptom...

description Abstract Aims Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) associated with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) accentuates the severity of heart failure and is a marker of poor prognosis. Little is known about FTR associated with asymptomatic DMR. Methods and results The study included 1249 asymptomatic patients with moderate or severe DMR from the Mitral Regurgitation International Database‐Quantitative (MIDA‐Q) registry (mean age 64 ± 15 years, 25% female). Despite the asymptomatic status, absent/trivial FTR was noted in only 42%, mild in 34.5%, moderate in 11%, and severe FTR in 12.5%. Patients with higher FTR grades were older and more often female and had higher EuroScore II, larger left atrial volumes, and more atrial fibrillation (all P < 0.05). Patients with moderate or severe FTR had comparable 5‐year survival (64 ± 4% and 65 ± 4%) and lower than patients with no/trivial FTR(96 ± 1%, P < 0.001). After adjustment for key prognostic factors, including age, left ventricular dilatation and dysfunction, DMR severity, left atrial dilatation, and pulmonary hypertension, ≥moderate FTR remained a strong predictor of mortality (HR = 2.08 [1.17–3.72], P = 0.013). Sensitivity analysis showed stable impact of ≥moderate FTR among patients with/without pulmonary hypertension, in women and men and for any other subset. For patients who underwent mitral valve surgery, post‐operative survival rates were similar between those with no/trivial FTR and those with ≥moderate or severe FTR (P = 0.76), suggesting that surgery could reduce the excess mortality related to preoperative FTR. Conclusions Among asymptomatic patients with significant DMR, ≥moderate FTR is frequent and independently associated with higher mortality, independently of traditional guideline‐based risk factors. These findings suggest that ≥moderate FTR should lead to consideration of early mitral surgery to improve outcomes.
