Question
Hello doctor,
In 2017, the doctors concluded that I had a lot of tricuspid valve regurgitation, a lot of pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure. I was treated with drugs prescribed by doctors and checked once a month at the hospital to get medicine. The doctor asked me if tricuspid valve regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension and heart failure are dangerous? Is your illness the sooner the better? I thank you doctor.

Many tricuspid regurgitation, high pulmonary artery pressure, heart failure often this sign on ultrasound is often secondary: For example, due to lung disease or cardiomyopathy. Whether to have surgery or not depends on the cause of the above.
