Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Functional tricuspid valve regurgitation occurs as a result enlargement the annulus (TA) despite normal structure (1). However, tendency to enlarge in posterior annular part suggests that mediolateral diameter measurement measured by 2-dimensional (2-D) echocardiography does not provide an accurate anatomical evaluation...
