Charan RKV*, Prakash Sanzgiri, Vedanti Shingare and Vidya Suratkal

Secondary or functional Mitral Regurgitation (MR) is well documented. Long-standing MR, Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) or myocardial disease usually leads to Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation (STR). The following case of chronic Left Ventricular (LV) ischemia and the resultant myocardial scarring causing isolated Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) without left heart dysfunction has not yet been reported.
