Mild Tricuspid Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcipt of video: Mild tricuspid regurgitation is often noted on echocadiogram reports and sometimes causes a little bit of worry and a lot of questions are asked on mild tricuspid regurgitation. What is this mild tricuspid regurgitation? And mild tricuspid regurgitation is just a small leak from the tricuspid valve.

Case Report: unexpected cause of cyanosis in an infant after acute exposure to high altitude—severe tricuspid regurgitation secondary to tricuspid valve prolapse

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundSevere tricuspid regurgitation (TR) causing cyanosis with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and right-to-left atrial shunting requires a precise diagnosis for optimal therapy. Tricuspid valve prolapse (TVP) can lead to TR and is sometimes overlooked, especially in complex cases with factors like pulmonary hypertension (PH).

Pericardial Decompression Syndrome

The New England Journal of Medicine

An echocardiogram (shown in a video) revealed new right ventricular dilatation, biventricular systolic dysfunction, and severe tricuspid regurgitation. Hypotension developed in a 14-year-old boy after pericardiocentesis.

Abstract 4144084: Enhanced External Counterpulsation as a Novel Treatment for Heart Transplant Candidates with Ischemic Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Circulation

A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed a dilated LV with an EF of 20%, left atrial enlargement, severe mitral regurgitation, moderate tricuspid regurgitation, right ventricular systolic pressure of 42 mm HG, trivial pericardial effusion, akinesis of the inferior wall, and hypokinesis of the anterior wall.
