Tricuspid Insufficiency treatment in Celaya

Tricuspid regurgitation is the incomplete closure of the tricuspid valve, located between the right chambers of the heart, which allows part of the blood to flow backward with each heartbeat.

How it may present: fatigue, swelling of the legs or abdomen, palpitations and, in mild cases, absence of symptoms, being detected on heart studies.

When is it advisable to be checked? In the presence of unusual fatigue, persistent swelling, or repeated palpitations.

Which specialist evaluates it? The cardiologist studies the function of the heart valves and provides follow-up; in minors the pediatric cardiologist is involved. Going for a cardiology evaluation allows the condition to be characterized and appropriate follow-up to be planned.
