Tricuspid regurgitation cardiac stress test
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Overview
Cardiac stress testing might be useful in the evaluation of asymptomatic patients with evidence of severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Cardiac stress test
- Cardiac stress testing might identify limitations in exercise, which can guide the consideration of surgery as a treatment modality.[1][2]
