A MYSTERIOUS TRICUSPID REGURGITATION: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a frequent echocardiographic finding in general population with a prevalence of almost 80% to 90%. It is usually associated to other valvular heart disease. Isolated TR although rare, is possible and can be either organic or functional. The clinical signs aren’t specific, and the cardiac US plays an important role in diagnosis and evaluation of TR from mild to torrential among other imaging modalities like MRI and MDCT. The etiology of TR are numerous and most be known in order to offer the adequate treatment. We present a Case of a 62 years old woman with an isolated (moderate to severe) TR of an unknown etiology, occurring after a SARS -COV 2 infection.
