Tricuspid: Difference between revisions

An isolated tricuspid valve stenosis is extremely rare in adulthood. Almost always there is a combination with more or less serious tricuspid valve insufficiency. When a mitral valve stenosis is present in old age the cause is almost always a previously created rheumatic fever. In 10% of the patients, also, there appears to be a tricuspid valve stenosis. Dooming the valve leaflets is always an expression of a tricuspid valve stenosis. For assessing the severity of a tricuspid valve stenosis 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.
