And that will be the approximate level of the tricuspid valve, the reference point for measuring right atrial pressure. In right atrial tracing, this occurs at the time of right ventricular contraction, with bulging upwards of the tricuspid valve. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade.

Planimetry of mitral valve area can be obtained in parasternal short axis view in case of mitral stenosis. Apical four chamber view shows all four cardiac chambers, mitral and tricuspid valves, and the septa. A right parasternal view may be used when the heart is enlarged, to assess the tricuspid regurgitation jet.

Bernoulli equation (P=4V 2 ) gives the gradient of tricuspid regurgitation flow, which corresponds to the pressure difference between right ventricle and right atrium in systole. If there is high right atrial pressure with elevated jugular venous pressure, 15 or 20 mm Hg may have to be added instead of 10 mm Hg.
