2

Regular echocardiographic surveillance

Periodic monitoring with echocardiography to assess progression of annular dilation and right ventricular function. Typically recommended every 6-12 months for stable moderate cases.

monitoring
3

Diuretic therapy for volume management

Loop diuretics to reduce right-sided volume overload and peripheral edema associated with annular dilation. Dosage adjusted based on symptom severity and renal function.

Additional treatment options

Tricuspid annular repair

Surgical annuloplasty using ring devices to restore normal annular dimensions and coaptation. Considered when annular dilation causes significant regurgitation.

surgical

Sodium and fluid restriction

Dietary modifications limiting sodium intake to reduce fluid retention and cardiac preload. Essential for managing volume overload from tricuspid regurgitation.

lifestyle

Transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention

Minimally invasive catheter-based approaches including valve repair clips or replacement for high-risk surgical patients with severe annular dilation.
