  2. Tricuspid valve disease is a common yet serious condition that shows up with many heart problems. It highly prevalent condition that can cause significant disability and reduce of quality of life in heart patients. Though surgical treatments are standard care in tricuspid diseases, but they continue to have one of the highest rates of deaths among other heart-valve-related procedures – lack of quick treatment and failure to detect early symptoms and lack of awareness are the common reasons why.

  3. Valves – The doors in the heart The function of the heart is simple – pump the body’s impure blood to the lungs and then push the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. For this to happen the pure and impure blood must follow separate predictable paths and valves are the doors that ensure this. The tricuspid valve is the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle and its job is to that impure blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle and doesn’t flow back.

  4. What is tricuspid valve disease? Tricuspid valve disease is a condition that happens when the valve doesn’t work as it is intended to. In some cases, the tricuspid valve gets narrowed and doesn’t allow enough blood to enter the ventricle from the atrium – called stenosis. In other cases, it may not close properly leading to the blood going backwards into the atrium which is called regurgitation. In some other cases, tissue may block blood flow or the valve is misaligned; these cases are rare and are called tricuspid atresia and Ebstein anomaly respectively. In all the above cases, the impure blood doesn’t reach the lungs for oxygenation causing the heart to work extra hard to ensure sufficient blood flow. Call Us: 9603040506 Website: www.drgokhale.com

  7. Diagnosis and treatment for Tricuspid Valve Disease: Symptoms, health history and prior medications are discussed. A blood pressure and neck veins check is performed followed by blood tests and imaging studies to diagnose the tricuspid valve disease. Based on the results (severity and types), the treatment plan is devised by the heart specialist. Medication to ease the symptoms of tricuspid valve disease is always the first line of treatment. Heart valve surgery is recommended in severe cases of this disease.
