Abstract
Three distinct types of TR, caused by predominant annular dilatation, valve prolapse, and valve tethering, were apparent in patients with systemic right ventricles. They were associated with diverse severity of right ventricular dysfunction and BNP activation. Further studies are needed to assess the impact of variable functional anatomy of the systemic tricuspid valve on the outcome of medical and surgical therapies.
