This is an observational study that tracks patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation — a condition where the heart's tricuspid valve leaks blood backward. Researchers will follow patients referred for potential treatment to understand their characteristics, which treatments they receive, and how well those treatments work over one year. The study compares outcomes in patients who receive a catheter-based valve repair procedure versus those who continue with medical therapy alone.
Severe tricuspid valve leakage is a serious heart condition, but doctors don't yet have clear guidelines about which patients benefit most from the newer minimally invasive repair procedures versus continuing with medications alone. This study will help doctors better understand who should receive which treatment.

You will be enrolled when you visit a heart center for evaluation of your tricuspid valve disease. Researchers will collect information about your medical history, symptoms, and heart imaging tests (ultrasounds). Depending on your doctor's recommendation, you may receive a minimally invasive valve repair procedure or continue with medications. You will be followed for 12 months with clinic visits and repeat heart imaging to track how you are doing and whether your valve leakage and symptoms have improved.
