Types of Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation
Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation is of 2 typesPrimary tricuspid regurgitation– the leaflets or the chords that connect valve to the heart pumping chambers themselves are affected.
Secondary tricuspid regurgitation- the leaflets and chords themselves are not primarily affected, rather there is a process called annular dilation . When the annulus enlarges, it stretches the valve leaflets cannot meet together, so they can no longer act as a valve, and therefore blood leaks backward

Signs & symptoms of tricuspid valve regurgitation
•Right sided heart failure and right-sided congestion•Shortness of breath•Weakness•Reduced urinary output•Swelling (swellings in legs, ankles, feet and abdominal region)•Liver dysfunction•Fatigue •Weight loss•Active pulsing in the neck veins

Diagnosis for tricuspid valve regurgitation
TTE (transthoracic echocardiogram)TTE detects tricuspid valve regurgitation and gives information regarding the severity of the leakiness of the tricuspid valve, right sided heart pressures and the pumping function of the right ventricle.

Treatment for tricuspid valve regurgitation
No treatment is required for mild TR but for severe TR, surgery is required. Surgery is done for primary TR ,when there is development of symptoms, or evidence of progressive enlargement and failure of the right ventricle.
