Barry A. Borlaug, a renowned cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic, and Jwan A. Naser, a first-year cardiology fellow, discuss the intriguing relationship between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and severe isolated tricuspid regurgitation. They highlight the surprisingly high prevalence of HFpEF in these patients, stressing the need for improved diagnostic methods. The conversation delves into the implications for patient management, advocating for a deeper understanding of underlying conditions like pulmonary hypertension and the role of left atrial function.
