Three-dimensional analysis of the tricuspid annular geometry in healthy subjects and in patients with different grades of functional tricuspid regurgitation

Cardiovascular Ultrasound

Accurate sizing of the tricuspid valve annulus is essential for determining the optimal timing of tricuspid valve (TV) intervention. Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography has limitations for comprehensive TV a.

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. In the ED, ultrasound showed hemopericardium with tamponade.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. 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.
