Conclusion
Severe TR occurred with a prevalence of 1.2% in our patients referred for echocardiography and was more common in females. Functional severe TR was the most common etiology with only a minority of cases secondary to organic severe TR. Idiopathic severe TR was found in a small proportion of patients who were older and more likely to have atrial fibrillation.
