Congenital tricuspid stenosis - what does this mean
Congenital tricuspid stenosis is a congenital heart defect in which the tricuspid valve is abnormally narrow, restricting the flow of blood from the right atrium to the right ventricle. it is usually caused by abnormal development of the tricuspid valve leaflets, or fusion of the leaflets, which can lead to a narrowing of the valve opening. it can also be caused by a thickening of the valve leaflets or a narrowing of the valve opening as a result of a congenital heart defect or other heart condition.
What happens during the disease - congenital tricuspid stenosis
Congenital tricuspid stenosis is a condition in which the tricuspid valve, located between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart, is abnormally narrow. this leads to increased pressure in the right atrium, forcing the right ventricle to work harder to pump blood through the narrowed valve. this can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and abdomen. in some cases, the condition may be caused by a genetic mutation that affects the development of the tricuspid valve during fetal development. in other cases, the cause of the condition may be unknown.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Perform a physical exam to assess for signs and symptoms of tricuspid stenosis.
- Obtain an echocardiogram to measure the pressure gradient across the tricuspid valve.
- Perform a Doppler echocardiogram to assess the flow of blood across the tricuspid valve.
- Perform a cardiac catheterization to measure the pressure gradient across the tricuspid valve.
- Perform an MRI or CT scan to assess the anatomy of the tricuspid valve.
- Perform genetic testing to identify any genetic mutations that may be associated with tricuspid stenosis.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of complications associated with Congenital Tricuspid Stenosis.
- Medication to reduce the severity of symptoms
- Surgery to repair the tricuspid valve
- Regular monitoring of the heart rate and rhythm
- Regular follow-up with a cardiologist
- Lifestyle modifications to reduce stress on the heart
- Regular exercise and physical activity
- Healthy diet to maintain a healthy weight
- Avoiding smoking and alcohol
- Reducing salt intake
- Avoiding certain medications that can worsen the condition
15 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Congenital tricuspid stenosis - Prevention
Congenital tricuspid stenosis can be prevented by avoiding exposure to certain environmental factors, such as certain drugs and viruses, during pregnancy. additionally, prenatal care and regular check-ups can help detect the condition early and allow for prompt treatment.
