For more information on valve disease and its treatment, see Valve Disease What is tricuspid valve disease? The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium (top chamber) and right ventricle (bottom chamber). It's role is to make sure blood flows in a forward direction from the right atrium to the ventricle. Tricuspid valve disease refers to abnormal function of the tricuspid valve. Two types of tricuspid disease include: Tricuspid regurgitation - the valve is leaky or doesn't close tight enough, causing blood to leak backwards across the valve Tricuspid stenosis - the valve leaflets are stiff and do not open widely enough, causing a restriction in the forward flow of blood. Your physician may refer to this as an increased pressure gradient across the valve, found by echocardiogram or cardiac catheterization.

The diagnostic tests your heart doctor orders help to identify the location, type and extent of your valve disease. The results of these tests, the structure of your heart, your age, and your lifestyle will help your cardiologist, surgeon, and YOU decide what type of procedure will be best for you. Valve Procedures: Heart Surgery Valve repair surgery Valve replacement surgery Movie: Aortic valve replacement ... Balloon Valvotomy Heart Surgery Traditional heart valve surgery During traditional heart valve surgery, a surgeon will make an incision down the center of your sternum (breastbone) to get direct access to your heart. The surgeon then repairs or replaces your abnormal heart valve or valves. Often, the surgeon and cardiologist will use transesophageal echocardiography during the operation to help determine the functioning of the valve before and after surgery. Traditional heart surgery: If you have traditional heart valve surgery, expect to be in the hospital five to seven days

Valvular Heart Disease Topics [General] Mitral Valve Disease Aortic Valve Disease Tricuspid Valve Disease Tricuspid Valve Disease TRICUSPID REGURGITATION (Tricuspid Incompetence or Insufficiency) Retrograde flow of blood from right ventricle to right atrium due to inadequate apposition of the tricuspid valves. Symptoms, Signs, and Diagnosis In addition to low output symptoms (eg, fatigue, cold skin, dyspnea, edema), the only specific symptom of severe TR is the sensation of pulsations in the neck due to the high jugular regurgitant (CV) waves from the transmitted RV pressure. Right upper quadrant abdominal discomfort due to hepatic congestion may occur. Atrial fibrillation or flutter, which usually occurs when the right atrium enlarges, further decreases the CO and may precipitate sudden, severe heart failure. The jugulars may have various degrees of v wave and y descent, depending on the degree of TR, which is associated with various degrees of systolic pulsation of the liver synchronous with the v waves. With gross TR, there is often a systolic murmur and thrill over the right jugular. A pansystolic TR murmur may be high-pitched if trivial and secondary to pulmonary hypertension, or of medium frequency if rather gross and primary. It often increases on inspiration (Carvallo's sign). Usually, it is best heard at the 4th and 5th intercostal spaces close to the sternum or in the epigastrium, but it is loudest at the apex if the RV usurps that area and over the free edge of the liver if secondary to cor pulmonale from emphysema.

The tricuspid valve lies between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It prevents backflow of blood from the ventricle into the atrium. The valve may become damaged or diseased causing stenosis and/or regurgitation of the valve. Both of these complications may prevent the valve from functioning correctly. What is Tricuspid Stenosis? The tricuspid valve may become narrowed or 'stenotic' causing the valve not to open fully. This will restrict the flow of blood into the right ventricle, which in turn restricts the flow of deoxygenated blood to the lungs. What are the causes of Tricuspid Stenosis? Tricuspid valve stenosis is relatively uncommon when compared to stenosis of the aortic and mitral valves, but is caused by: Rheumatic fever.

Useful Organisations You are here: Home Patient Information Anatomy / treatment How is Tricuspid Valve Disease diagnosed? Listening through a stethoscope - When blood passes through a narrowed or leaky valve, the resulting noise is a heart murmur that can be heard through a stethoscope when placed on the chest. An electrocardiogram (ECG) will identify thickening of the right atrium and any arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation if mitral valve disease is also present. An echocardiography (Echo) confirms severity of regurgitation and right atrium enlargement. It may yield additional information as to the cause of the disease. Chest X ray will show enlargement of the atrium caused by its thickening and dilatation and evidence of pulmonary congestion. Cardiac catheterisation (angiogram) can detect both stenosis and regurgitation of the valve. It is also carried out to detect any coexisting coronary artery disease that may be evident by the symptoms of angina. What Treatment is available for Tricuspid Valve Disease?

Medical Services Treatment of Tricuspid Valve Disease at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Tricuspid valve disorders most often occur in conjunction with other heart valve problems, particularly with mitral valve disorders. This is secondary to increased pulmonary pressure caused by a narrow or leaking mitral valve. While the majority of heart valve operations involve repair or replacement of the mitral or aortic valves located on the left side of the heart, the tricuspid and pulmonary valves on the right side of the heart can also become defective and require surgery. See more information about the tricuspid valve. Tricuspid valve repair may also be needed because of damage caused by a heart attack, a birth defect, infection. Another important risk factor for damage to the tricuspid valve is use of the diet medications called "Phen-fen" (phentermine and fenfluramine) or dexfenfluramine. In rare instances, valve damage can be caused by an unusual tumor called a carcinoid, which secretes a hormone that damages the valve. Tricuspid valve abnormalities are also associated with Ebstein's anomaly . Trauma can cause disruption of the tricuspid valve support apparatus resulting in severe leakage. Mayo Clinic Heart Valve Disease Clinic Located within Mayo Clinic in Rochester, the Heart Valve Disease Clinic integrates the most advanced diagnostic and treatment options with a patient-centered, team approach to the treatment of heart valve disease.

Medical Services Tricuspid Valve Disease Tricuspid Valve Disease Treatment Tricuspid Valve Surgery Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation Tricuspid Valve Stenosis ... Medical Services Tricuspid Valve Stenosis In this relatively rare condition, the tricuspid valve fails to open as wide as it should, reducing the amount of blood entering the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve's three leaflets and related structures become stiff, develop scar tissue, or partially fuse together. Tricuspid valve stenosis is most often due to injury to the leaflets caused by medications or rheumatic heart valve disease. The narrow heart valve must accommodate the same amount of blood, resulting in increased pressure in the right atrium. The right atrium compensates for this increased pressure buildup by stretching. Less blood is pumped to the lungs. Patients may experience pain in the upper right abdomen and enlargement of the liver. Eventually, tricuspid valve stenosis can damage the heart muscle and can cause irregular heartbeats and possibly heart failure or other complications, including stroke or heart infection. This condition requires tricuspid valve replacement. See more information about
