Extractions: The cardiac surgeons at the Inova Heart Center have worked diligiently to refine their techniques for heart valve surgery. At present, patients can benefit from a variety of possible interventions. Decisions regarding the timing and selection of the procedure (repair or replacement) are determined on an individual basis and are influenced by the extent of the valve disease and damage to coronary anatomy, age of the patient, past medical history, symptoms and patient's lifestyle. In addition, patients are considered for surgery before symptoms become severe and permanent heart damage (secondary to the valve disorder) develops. Many times, surgery for tricuspid valve disease is performed at the same time as surgery for a left-sided heart valve (mitral or aortic valve). This is because the left-sided valve disease can lead to the tricuspid valve disease. The decision to repair or replace the valve may not be made until the time of surgery.
Extractions: The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and ventricle and is composed of three leaflets or "cusps." This valve reflects a complex interplay between valve leaflets, a relatively undefined valve "ring" (or annulus) that connects the leaflets to the heart, muscular "chords" that connect the valve leaflets to the heart muscle, heart muscle, and the heart wall itself. Tricuspid valve disease requiring surgery can be secondary to valve and/or heart failure on the right side of the heart (termed a "functional disorder"). If tricuspid valve disease is due to a congenital malformation, infective endocarditis or rheumatic fever affecting the tricuspid valve itself, it is termed an "organic disorder." Connective tissue disorders, right atrial tumors, carcinoid syndrome, and congenital lesion such as Ebstein's anomaly or atrioventricular canal and trauma are other causes of tricuspid valve disease.

Tricuspid Dysplasia One obstacle to controlling tricuspid valve disease is that clinical signs associatedwith the disorder are generally not evident until after a dog has reached http://www.upei.ca/~cidd/Diseases/cardiovascular diseases/tricuspid dysplasia.ht
Extractions: What is tricuspid valve dysplasia? The atrioventricular (AV) valves in the heart ensure that the blood flows from the atria to the ventricles when the heart beats. Malformation (dysplasia) of the right atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve causes backflow of blood into the right atrium, or tricuspid regurgitation. There may also be narrowing (stenosis) of the valve. Due to the dysplastic valve, the heart works less efficiently. How is tricuspid dysplasia inherited? The mode of inheritance is undefined. What breeds are affected by tricuspid dysplasia This is mostly seen in larger breeds, especially the Labrador retriever, German shepherd, Great Dane and Weimaraner. Tricuspid dysplasia is more common in males than females. For many breeds and many disorders, the studies to determine the mode of inheritance or the frequency in the breed have not been carried out, or are inconclusive. We have listed breeds for which there is a general consensus among those investigating in this field and among veterinary practitioners, that the condition is significant in this breed. What does tricuspid dysplasia Often animals will live for several years without developing heart disease. More severely affected animals with a greater degree of regurgitation and/or stenosis across the defective valve, will develop right-sided heart failure. Signs may include cool limbs and a distended abdomen due to an enlarged liver or build-up of fluid. Your dog may also have a reduced tolerance for exercise and may experience fainting or collapse due to an abnormal heart rhythm.

Extractions: The Cardiac Video Interpretation Workshop Series The VideoInterpretation Workshop Series is designed for the medical professional with a minimum of six months experience performing and/or interpreting ultrasound examinations. The videotape series features several case studies illustrating various types of pathology. Initially the clinical history is provided and the case is viewed. The ultrasound case is then reviewed a second time along with a narrated discussion of the actual ultrasound findings. After completing each video workshop, a series of written questions can be completed and returned to obtain CME credit. The objective of The Video Workshop Series is to enhance the physician and sonographer's ability to recognize and identify disease. The workshops are also an excellence source for registry preparation in conjunction with the P.A.S.S. Audiocassettes and Workbooks. Any 1 tape: $75.00 each

Z Contents of this page: Heart, section through the middle Heart, front view Tricuspid Regurgitation Tricuspid Regurgitation Alternative names Return to top Tricuspid insufficiency Definition Return to top Tricuspid regurgitation is a disorder involving backwards flow of blood across the tricuspid valve which separates the right ventricle (lower heart chamber) from the right atrium (upper heart chamber). 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. Other diseases can directly affect the tricuspid valve. The most common of these is rheumatic fever , which is a complication of untreated strep throat infections. The valve fails to close properly, and blood can flow back to the right atrium from the right ventricle, and from there back into the veins. This reduces the flow of blood forward into the lungs. The condition affects about 4 out of 100,000 people.

Extractions: Center Valve Disease Every time your heart beats, blood flows into, through, and out of your heart. In fact, your heart moves about 100 gallons (379 liters) of blood through your body every hour. Blood is pumped through your heart in only one direction. Heart valves play key roles in this one-way blood flow, opening and closing with each heartbeat. Pressure changes behind and in front of the valves allow them to open their flap-like "doors" (called cusps or leaflets) at just the right time, then close them tightly to prevent a backflow of blood. There are 4 valves in the heart: Blood without oxygen returns from the body and flows into the heart's upper-right chamber (the right atrium). From there, it is forced through the tricuspid valve into the lower-right chamber (the right ventricle). The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary valve and into the lungs. While in the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen. As the right ventricle is preparing to push blood through the pulmonary valve, the tricuspid valve closes to stop blood from flowing back into the right atrium.
Extractions: Center Types of Valve Disease Diseases of the heart valves are grouped according to which valve or valves are involved and the amount of blood flow that is disrupted by the problem. The most common and serious valve problems happen in the mitral and aortic valves. Diseases of the tricuspid and pulmonary valves are fairly rare. Diseases of the Mitral Valve Mitral Valve Prolapse The mitral valve regulates the flow of blood from the upper-left chamber (the left atrium) to the lower-left chamber (the left ventricle). Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) means that one or both of the valve flaps (called cusps or leaflets) are enlarged, and the flaps' supporting muscles are too long. Instead of closing evenly, one or both of the flaps collapse or bulge into the atrium. MVP is often called click-murmur syndrome because when the valve does not close properly, it makes a clicking sound and then a murmur. What causes MVP?
