Pericardial effusion and in-hospital mortality in adults hospitalized with severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation: A multicenter registry study

Key takeaways

This study looked at people with a specific heart valve problem called tricuspid regurgitation. It found that fluid around the heart was linked to a higher chance of dying in the hospital. This is an observational study, so it shows a link but not proof of cause. It helps doctors understand the risks for patients with advanced heart and kidney issues.
