Echocardiographic assessment and clinical implication of functional tricuspid regurgitation in heart failure with reduced or preserved ejection fraction (ECLIPSE-HF) : Rationale and design of the study.

This study has been designed to improve our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical relevance of FTR across all HF phenotypes. The results could potentially allow a more appropriate selection of heart failure patients with FTR for tricuspid valve intervention by percutaneous or surgical repair or replacement.
