Tricuspid Regurgitation Related Mortality in United States, 1999-2019

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is being increasingly recognized in patient population. We aimed to investigate the long-term mortality due to TR in the United States (US) and demographic disparities in TR-related mortality using Multiple Cause of Death data via the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide -Ranging On-line Data for Epidemi-ologic Research datasets, 1999 to 2019. The results from present analysis suggest that TR related deaths in the US may have increased over the last 20 years. This trend may justify greater focus on timely diagno-sis and management of TR.
