Other valve deformities are not acquired until later in life. Conditions such as an infection can invade or damage the vaIve leaflets or doors. The natural aging process may weaken already damaged valve leaflets or harden normal valve tissue. Valve problems produce many symptoms. Faulty heart valves can cause dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, irregular heart beats, fluid buildup, strokes and heart attacks. Tests such as an echocardiogram or a cardiac catheterization can show if heart valves are damaged or not functioning properly.

Lately, I've been experiencing dull pains very light in nature and tingling in my extremities (hands, arms, feet). Would those symptoms be related to the leakage in my tricuspid valve?

Between the chambers are the heart valves which ensure the blood runs only in one direction. There are also heart valves situated between the ventricles and the major arteries - the aorta and pulmonary artery - where they have the same function. The valve (A) ensures that the blood does not flow back into the heart from the arterial side (B) when the heart is relaxing and filing with blood from the venous side (C). Failure in a valve in the left side of the heart - the aortic or the mitral valve - results in left-sided heart failure . This leads to an accumulation of fluids in the lungs, or pulmonary oedema.

Extractions: When working properly, the heart valves open and close to keep the blood flowing in the right direction inside the heart. Heart valve disease occurs when the valves do not open or close correctly.

This can cause symptoms such as breathlessness and swollen ankles. Severe heart valve disease can result in permanent damage to the heart. Medicines can treat the symptoms, but some people will need surgery to repair or replace a faulty valve. The heart The heart is a muscular pump divided into two sides. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs to load it with oxygen, and the left side pumps oxygenated blood around the body. The heart has four valves. On each side there are two chambers - the ventricle and the atrium. Separating the chambers are heart valves. On the right, this is called the tricuspid valve, and on the left, the mitral valve.

http://congenitalheart.hs.columbia.edu/ebstien.html

Extractions: In Ebstein's anomaly, the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve are downwardly displaced into the right ventricular cavity and the normally situated anterior leaflet may have abnormal leaflet attachments. As a result, the right side of the heart is abnormally partitioned into a right atrium, an atrialized portion of the right ventricle, and a right ventricular cavity. A communication between the left and right atrium is often present. These abnormalities result in abnormal right ventricle function and a leak in the tricuspid valve. In addition, 20% of patients with Ebstein's anomaly have accessory electrical tissue which can cause episodes of heart racing, a condition known as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW). The clinical manifestations of Ebstein's anomaly are quite variable. Patients with the most severe form of this disease may present with severe congestive heart failure and cyanosis at birth while mild cases may not be discovered until adulthood. The management of Ebstein's anomaly depends on symptoms, the age of the patient, and the anatomy. Surgery is indicated when there is congestive heart failure from a leak in the tricuspid valve, or significant cyanosis. There is less certainty about the need for surgery in a patient with no symptoms. Some patients with Ebstein's anomaly are free of symptoms until the development of an arrhythmias. These patients may be candidates for both surgical repair of Ebstein's and specific treatment of the arrhythmia. Patients with supraventricular tachycardia from WPW syndrome may be treated with RF ablation; however, this procedure is usually more difficult in Ebstein's anomaly because of the abnormal location of the tricuspid valve.

Extractions: It is easily understood that the muscle that we call the heart must continue to pump with adequate force to pump the blood that the body needs. "Valves" however are extremely important to the heart's efficiency. These delicate structures allow for the efficient flow of blood progressively forward through the heart's chambers, maximizing the efficiency of the heart muscle's work. In the animation above, the Tricuspid Valve (between the right atrium and right ventricle) and the Pulmonic Valve (between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery) are illustrated to be working normally. After the right ventricle contracts, pressure is low in the chamber. The Tricuspid Valve, which had been closed from the pressure generated from the ventricle's contraction, now opens as the pressure of the blood from the right atrium has built up while the Tricuspid Valve was closed. The right ventricle will again contract, closing the Tricuspid Valve again, and pushing open the Pulmonic Valve. Once the right ventricle completes its contraction, the pressure in the pulmonary artery will be higher than in the right ventricle, and the Valve will close. The valves on the left side of the heart, the Aortic Valve and the Mitral Valve however, are not working properly. Blood returns from the lungs and empties into the left atrium. In this illustration, the Mitral Valve opens properly when the left ventricle is finished contracting, and allows blood to flow into the left ventricle easily. When the left ventricle contracts however, blood is shown to flow back into the left atrium through the Mitral Valve. This backward flow of blood is called

This occurs during contraction of the right ventricle and is caused by damage to the tricuspid heart valve or enlargement of the right ventricle. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The most common cause of tricuspid regurgitation is not damage to the valve itself, but enlargement of the right ventricle, which may be a complication of any disorder that causes failure of the right ventricle.

Answer The tricuspid valve controls the flow of blood in the heart between the right ventricle and the right atrium. There are two ways in which it can function incorrectly, either because it lets too much blood through, called tricuspid insufficiency or incompetence, or it does not let enough blood through, called stenosis. Damage may occur after rheumatic heart disease caused by rheumatic fever, or due to birth (congenital) anomalies. In tricuspid incompetence the valves do not meet properly and there is regurgitation of blood back into the right ventricle from the right atrium every time the heart beats.

Although the infecting organisms are often highly virulent, they frequently respond to medical treatment. The prognosis for patients with TVE is fairly good. About 25% of TVE patients require surgical intervention. Persistent sepsis and intractable congestive heart failure are indications for surgery. Tricuspid valvulectomy without prosthetic replacement is the surgical intervention of choice. Right-sided heart failure is the principal complication after valvulectomy without a prosthesis. A significant percentage of patients require insertion of prosthetic valves at a future date.
