Dooming the valve leaflets is always an expression of a tricuspidaalklepstenose. For assessing the severity of a tricuspidaalklepstenose are no objective criteria exist, however it is important to realize that the pressure differences tricuspidaalklepstenose be less. At a mean gradient of 5 or greater may also be a serious tricuspidaalklepstenose be. The peak gradient is high, both in patients with a severe stenosis without TI as in patients with severe TS with low TI. The deceleration time will be obvious differences.
