Tricuspid Valve Disease
This valve is often not diseased in isolation. Usually, the mitral valve disease puts pressure on the right ventricle and causes the tricuspid valve to start leaking.
Other causes of tricuspid valve disease include pacemaker leads that enter via the tricuspid valve and infections.
Patient with tricuspid valve conditions suffer from ankle swelling, liver failure, abdominal bloating and/or breathlessness.
Management for tricuspid valve disease include medical management with water-tablets (diuretics)
