The full form of "TR" in a hospital setting can have several meanings, depending on the context. Based on the provided reference, one possibility is:
- TR: Tricuspid Regurgitation
Tricuspid Regurgitation Explained
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR), or tricuspid valve regurgitation, is a heart valve disease.
How Tricuspid Regurgitation Occurs:
- The tricuspid valve's flaps (cusps or leaflets) do not close properly.
- The tricuspid valve controls the flow of blood from the heart's right atrium (top chamber) to the right ventricle (bottom chamber).
Therefore, if you see "TR" on a patient's chart, it could refer to Tricuspid Regurgitation. However, depending on the hospital department or medical specialty, "TR" might stand for something else entirely. Without more context, it's difficult to provide a definitive answer.
