Tricuspid valve disease is a condition in which the function of the tricuspid valve is impaired.
• The tricuspid valve is located between the two right heart chambers (right ventricle and the right atrium)
• The role of the tricuspid valve is to make sure that blood flows in a forward direction from the right atrium to the ventricle
• Deoxygenated blood comes from the body and fills the right atrium; it then passes to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. From the right ventricle, the blood is pumped to the lung to be oxygenated. The tricuspid valve closes to keep the blood from moving backward when the ventricle contracts
• There are several types of tricuspid valve disease, including:
• Tricuspid valve stenosis - a condition in which the tricuspid valve is stiff, thick or fused. This result in a narrowed valve, decreasing the amount of blood that can flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle
• Tricuspid valve regurgitation - a condition in which the valve is leaky or doesn’t close properly, allowing blood to leak backward into the right atrium
• Tricuspid atresia - this is a congenital heart defect in which the tricuspid valve does not form at all but instead a solid sheet of tissue. This tissue prevents blood flow between the right ventricle and the right atrium
CAUSES
Tricuspid valve disease is caused by:
• Infective endocarditis
• Rheumatic fever
• Pulmonary hypertension
• Dilated right ventricle
• Tumors of the heart
• Less common causes include trauma, carcinoid heart disease, systemic lupus, tricuspid valve prolapse
Mine is very mild right now. I’m 57 and trying to get healthier.
Thank you so much. God bless 😊❤️
Thank you SO much for this!
They don't do anything if it is mild, just monitor it. I do have mild, hope they stay that way.
If the condition is mild, it is typically monitored closely without immediate intervention, hoping it remains stable. ❤️
I've heard ineffective carditis is less serious than infective carditis : )
It should have read infective endocarditis, ie inflammation of the inside of the heart secondary to infected blood.
@@rg9749 Joke dude.
One night I was in A fib and had to go to the ER and the ER doctor asked me Scotty you haven't been here in a while remind us again what your cardiac history is again. I said "tricuspid valve atresia with single ventricle". The ER doctor said "what the hell is tricuspid valve atresia and how are you alive with only one ventricle"? My response was"you are a doctor and you don't know this shit"? ER doctor said I'm an ER doctor not a pediatric cardiologist.
Dear lord is he crazy
