Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is downward or apical displacement of posterior and septal tricuspid leaflets. The anterior leaflet is not displaced, but is elongated to meet the other leaflets, so that when it closes, a loud sound, tricuspid sound, is produced, which is called as the sail sound.

Risk Factors and Long‐Term Outcomes of Tricuspid Regurgitation After Transcatheter Closure of Pediatric Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defects

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundTranscatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects in children is a highly effective procedure, but it can result in tricuspid regurgitation (TR).

Use of Right Ventricular Free-Wall Strain in a Multivariable Estimate of Right Ventricular-Arterial Coupling in Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Noninvasive surrogates for RVAC using echocardiographic estimates of right ventricular function, such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), have been shown to correlate with invasively measured RVAC and predict clinical outcomes in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Apical four chamber view shows all four cardiac chambers, mitral and tricuspid valves, and the septa. Subcostal view is a favourite view of pediatric echocardiographers. A right parasternal view may be used when the heart is enlarged, to assess the tricuspid regurgitation jet. Apical four chamber view is illustrated here.

A Child with Blunt Trauma

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Blunt cardiac injury my result in : 1) Acute myocardial rupture with tamponade 2) Valve rupture (tricuspid, aortic, mitral) 3) Coronary thrombosis or dissection (and thus Acute MI) from direct coronary blunt injury 4) Dysrhythmias of all kinds.
