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).

The Tricuspid Valve: A Review of Pathology, Imaging, and Current Treatment Options: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Tricuspid valve disease is an often underrecognized clinical problem that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, patients will often present late in their disease course with severe right-sided heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and life-limiting symptoms that have few durable treatment options.

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.

Correspondence on 'Echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary pressure in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation by Lemarchand et al

Heart BMJ

Lemarchand et al 1 address an everyday question in the echocardiography laboratories about the reliability of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) estimation in cases of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). As the tricuspid orifice becomes larger and non-restrictive, the convective component.

Echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary pressure in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation

Heart BMJ

Objectives The estimation of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is challenging in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The study aimed to determine the reliability of the assessment of sPAP by TTE in this population.
