Secondary regurgitation caused by the remodeling and dysfunction of the left or right heart chamber may complicate heart failure, worsening both symptoms and prognosis. Outcome studies have shown that patients' prognosis worsened as the severity of secondary regurgitation increases. Imaging and more specifically echocardiography plays a central role for diagnosis and serial assessment of secondary regurgitation as well as for timing the intervention and guiding the procedure.
由左心或右心心室重构和功能障碍引起的继发性反流可能使心力衰竭复杂化，使症状和预后恶化。结果研究表明，随着继发性反流严重程度的增加，患者的预后恶化。影像学，特别是超声心动图，在继发性反流的诊断和连续评估中起着核心作用，也可以确定干预时机并指导手术。
