Rheumatic tricuspid valve diseases - what does this mean
Rheumatic tricuspid valve diseases are caused by inflammation of the tricuspid valve, which is a valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart. this inflammation can be caused by an autoimmune reaction, a bacterial or viral infection, or a combination of both. this can lead to the valve not functioning properly, resulting in a decrease in the amount of blood that can flow through the valve, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue.
What happens during the disease - rheumatic tricuspid valve diseases
Rheumatic tricuspid valve disease is caused by an autoimmune reaction to a streptococcal infection. this reaction causes the body to produce antibodies that attack the heart's tricuspid valve, resulting in inflammation, scarring, and thickening of the valve. this can lead to valve regurgitation, where blood is unable to flow in the normal direction, leading to a buildup of pressure in the right side of the heart. over time, this can cause heart failure, arrhythmias, and other complications.
