Tricuspid Regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation is an incomplete closure of the heart's tricuspid valve, which allows some blood to flow backward instead of moving in a single direction with each heartbeat.
Common symptoms: in mild cases it may go unnoticed; when it is more pronounced, fatigue, swelling in the legs or abdomen, a sensation of irregular heartbeats, or shortness of breath with exertion may appear.
Common causes: it is associated with various situations that affect the structure or function of the heart, so its evaluation is individualized.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist studies valve function in adults and the pediatric cardiologist in childhood, while the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon steps in when the case requires it. Discussing the symptoms with one of these professionals allows for appropriate follow-up.
