Tricuspid valve stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing of the tricuspid valve in the heart. This condition can lead to a variety of symptoms and complications, including heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.
Causes[edit]
Tricuspid valve stenosis is most commonly caused by rheumatic fever, a disease that can damage the heart valves. Other causes can include congenital heart disease, endocarditis, and carcinoid syndrome.
Symptoms[edit]
Symptoms of tricuspid valve stenosis can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Common symptoms can include fatigue, shortness of breath, abdominal swelling, and jaundice. In severe cases, patients may experience syncope or heart failure.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of tricuspid valve stenosis typically involves a physical examination, during which a doctor may detect a heart murmur. Further diagnostic tests can include an echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, and electrocardiogram.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for tricuspid valve stenosis can involve medications to manage symptoms, as well as surgical procedures to repair or replace the damaged valve. The specific treatment plan will depend on the severity of the condition and the patient's overall health.
