Association of right atrial strain and long-term outcome in severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation
Main finding · All-cause mortalityResult — go to the resultHazard ratio 0.928 95% CI 0.864–0.996Authors' conclusion
Patients with severe STR presented with significant RA remodelling, and lower RA function, as measured by RASr, was independently associated with all-cause mortality, potentially improving risk stratification in these patients.
