Tricuspid Atresia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is usually identified in the newborn stage or during pregnancy, through studies of the baby's heart. Tricuspid atresia is a congenital heart defect in which the valve that connects the two right chambers of the heart does not form correctly, which alters the way blood circulates through the heart.
Common signs in the baby: Bluish coloration of the skin, rapid breathing, fatigue when feeding, or poor weight gain.
Why does early detection matter? Recognizing it in time allows follow-up to be planned with a team specialized in pediatric cardiology.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatric cardiologist, the cardiovascular surgeon, and the pediatrician are part of the team that assesses these cases. In the face of signs of difficulty in a baby, specialized care is essential.
