Two- and Three-dimensional Transthoracic Echocardiographic Assessment of Tricuspid Valve Prolapse with Mid-to-Late Systolic Tricuspid Regurgitation.

ABSTRACT

We present the two-dimensional echocardiographic findings of tricuspid valve prolapse with mid-to-late systolic tricuspid regurgitation and describe the incremental value provided by live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. We also discuss a potential pitfall when assessing the severity of regurgitation in this setting.
