Tricuspid valve disease is a condition in which the valve between the two right heart chambers (right ventricle and right atrium) doesn’t function properly. Tricuspid valve disease often occurs with other heart valve problems.
Several types of tricuspid valve disease exist, including:
Please discuss with your doctor for further information.
The common symptoms of tricuspid valve disease are:
There may be some symptoms not listed above. If you have any concerns about a symptom, please consult your doctor.
If you have any signs or symptoms listed above or have any questions, please consult with your doctor. Everyone’s body acts differently. It is always best to discuss with your doctor what is best for your situation.
Tricuspid valve disease, if caused by rheumatic fever, is often combined with mitral and/or aortic valve disease.

Tricuspid valve disease may first be diagnosed during a physical exam. The doctor will often hear a murmur (abnormal blood flow through the valve). Other signs your doctor may find are an irregular pulse and a fluttering or abnormal pulsation in your neck (jugular vein).
Tests used to diagnose valve disease may include:
Medical Management
Your doctor will want to monitor the progress of your valve disease with regular appointments. They may be spaced once a year or more often, if your doctor feels you need to be followed more closely.
Your appointment will include a medical exam. Diagnostic studies may be repeated at regular intervals.
Your physician may prescribe medications to treat your symptoms. These medications may include drugs to treat heart failure or medications to control irregular heart rhythms.
Surgical Management
Tricuspid Valve Repair
When valve disease is severe, it may be necessary to repair or replace the diseased valve. Tricuspid valve repair using an annuloplasty ring is the preferred surgical approach for tricuspid regurgitation and may be performed for primary tricuspid disease or for combined cases with other valve surgery (mitral, aortic).
When the valve can not be repaired, a valve replacement will be performed. Find more information about tricuspid valve surgery.
Endocarditis prevention
If you have tricuspid valve disease, you are at risk for getting endocarditis, an infection that causes damage to the heart valves (even if your valve has been repaired or replaced with surgery). You will need to follow these guidelines:
Anatomically correct design conforms to the 3-D tricuspid valve opening.
Please discuss with your doctor for further information.
If you have any questions, please consult with your doctor to better understand the best solution for you.
