: Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a relatively common condition, affecting approximately 4 % of the elderly population. However, there are currently no clear guidelines for its medical management due to a lack of sufficient data in the literature. This review examines the pathophysiology of TR, categorizes its etiologies, and evaluates therapeutic options, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, to optimize intervention timing and hemodynamic management. Based on the etiology and severity of TR, we suggest a gradual, stage-based algorithm for diuretic therapy titration and a management approach derived from common clinical practices.

Abstract
: Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a relatively common condition, affecting approximately 4 % of the elderly population. However, there are currently no clear guidelines for its medical management due to a lack of sufficient data in the literature. This review examines the pathophysiology of TR, categorizes its etiologies, and evaluates therapeutic options, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, to optimize intervention timing and hemodynamic management. Based on the etiology and severity of TR, we suggest a gradual, stage-based algorithm for diuretic therapy titration and a management approach derived from common clinical practices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
