Tricuspid regurgitation cardiac catheterization
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Cardiac catheterization may be useful in the evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation when the results of the non-invasive testing are insufficient.
Cardiac catheterization
Cardiac catheterization
- Cardiac catheterization might be performed when there is lack of consistency between the clinical findings and the results of the non-invasive testing in order to rule out cardiac etiologies of pulmonary hypertension as the cause of the patient’s symptoms.[1][2]
- Right ventriculography and hemodynamic assessment by cardiac catheterization are used to assess the function of the right ventricle and estimate the severity of the valvular regurgitation.[3]
- Left ventriculography may be helpful in assessment of causes of secondary TR.

Recommendations for Diagnosis of TR
| Class IIa |
| 2. In patients with TR, invasive measurement of the cardiac index, right-sided diastolic pressures, pulmonary artery pressures, and pulmonary vascular resistance, as well as right ventriculography, can be useful when clinical and noninvasive data are discordant or inadequate. (Level of Evidence: C-LD) |
