Other tricuspid valve diseases - what does this mean
Other tricuspid valve diseases occur when the tricuspid valve doesn't open and close properly, leading to a backflow of blood from the right ventricle to the right atrium, or when the valve becomes thickened or narrowed, preventing the normal flow of blood from the right atrium to the right ventricle. this can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling in the legs and abdomen.
