Table 1. Echocardiographic parameters used for grading of tricuspid regurgitation severity [9].

Parameter Mild Moderate Severe
Tricuspid valve Normal Normal or abnormal Abnormal / flail leaflet / poor coaptation
RV/RA/IVC size Normal Normal or dilated Dilated
VC width [mm] Not defined Not defined, but <7 >7
PISA radius [mm] ≤5 6–9 >9
Hepatic vein flow Systolic dominance Systolic blunting Systolic reversal

RV indicates right ventricle; RA, right atrium; IVC, inferior vena cava; VC, vena contracta; PISA, proximal isovelocity surface area.
