Extractions: (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.

Tricuspid Stenosis (Narrowing Of The Tricuspid Valve) The causes, symptoms, diagnosis and surgery are discussed here as well as some other related topics.Category Health Conditions and Diseases tricuspid valve disease Since then members of The Kay Medical Group continue to operate on patients withcombined mitral and tricuspid valve disease and also aortic valve disease if http://www.kaymed.com/medterms_ts.htm
Extractions: Tricuspid stenosis is an uncommon valvular lesion. It is due to rheumatic fever and is always associated with rheumatic mitral valve disease and sometimes combined with mitral valve disease and aortic valve disease as well. Tricuspid stenosis occurs in about 5% of patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease. The symptoms of tricuspid stenosis are usually those of the concomitant mitral stenosis or mitral regurgitation. These are shortness of breath on exertion and tiredness. The tricuspid stenosis may be associated with various degrees of tricuspid regurgitation (leaking) due to deformity of the valve. The disease of the tricuspid valve, if severe enough, will produce swelling of the liver, fluid in the abdomen and edema (swelling of the lower extremities due to fluid). The reason for these findings is that blood is restricted from flowing through the stenotic (narrowed) tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle (right lower chamber of the heart). Diagnosis of the tricuspid valvular and mitral valvular disease can be made by echocardiography. One never sees rheumatic aortic and tricuspid valve involvement without mitral involvement in the rheumatic process. However, patients may have rheumatic tricuspid stenosis and mitral stenosis without aortic valve disease. Prior to operation, one must perform coronary arteriography to determine whether the coronary arteries have significant blockages as well. If the coronary arteries are significantly obstructed they should have bypasses at the time of surgery on the mitral and tricuspid valves. The aortic valve should be repaired or replaced at the time of surgery as well if it is involved.
