Tricuspid Regurgitation Related Mortality in United States, 1999-2019

Summary: Predictive factors for the progression of significant functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) vary by sex, with atrial fibrillation and longer tricuspid tenting height being key predictors in women and men, respectively. These findings suggest different pathophysiological mechanisms may be involved in FTR progression in both sexes.

Summary: This study found a decline in women's awareness that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women from 2009 to 2019, particularly among Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black women, and younger women. This highlights the need for increased focus on women's health and education to reverse these trends.
