Echocardiographic assessment is the cornerstone, in the diagnosis of secondary tricuspid regurgitation therefore, the right ventricle and the tricuspid valve are structures that over time have gained interest in their study as possible causes of heart failure. The recent incorporation of the possibility of percutaneous correction of tricuspid regurgitation, implies that the assessment of this type of regurgitation is more important in clinical practice. This valvular pathology requires a multidisciplinary approach performed by a Heart Team where the cardiac sonographer and cardiac imaging specialist have an important role in diagnosis and follow-up.
