Abstract

We present the two‐dimensional echocardiographic findings of tricuspid valve prolapse with mid‐to‐late systolic tricuspid regurgitation and describe the incremental value provided by live/real time three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. We also discuss a potential pitfall when assessing the severity of regurgitation in this setting.
