Nonrheumatic tricuspid (valve) stenosis with insufficiency - what does this mean
Nonrheumatic tricuspid valve stenosis with insufficiency is a condition in which the tricuspid valve between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart is narrowed, and the valve does not close properly, allowing blood to flow backward through the valve, resulting in decreased blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs. this can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs.
What happens during the disease - nonrheumatic tricuspid (valve) stenosis with insufficiency
Nonrheumatic tricuspid stenosis with insufficiency is caused by the narrowing of the tricuspid valve, which is the valve that separates the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart. this narrowing of the valve can be caused by a variety of factors such as birth defects, rheumatic fever, endocarditis, or tumors. this narrowing of the valve causes an increase in pressure in the right atrium, which in turn causes an increase in blood flow through the valve and a decrease in the amount of blood that is able to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. this decrease in blood flow can lead to an insufficient amount of oxygenated blood to the body, resulting in symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling in the extremities.
