Signs and Symptoms of Tricuspid Stenosis-2

Patient was educated that signs and symptoms of tricuspid stenosis can vary from mild to severe depending on the degree of stenosis and the extent of obstruction to the blood flow. Signs and symptoms are as follows: Palpitations and arrhythmia Damaged heart muscle, secondary to poor blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle, can lead to palpitations and arrhythmias. Diminished function of vital organs Compromised blood and oxygen supply to the vital organs affect [...]

Signs and Symptoms of Tricuspid Stenosis-1

Patient was educated that signs and symptoms of tricuspid stenosis can vary from mild to severe depending on the degree of stenosis and the extent of obstruction to the blood flow. Signs and symptoms are as follows: Dizziness and lightheadedness Reduced output of blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation can contribute towards an overall reduction in output of blood from the left ventricle into the general circulation, resulting in low blood [...]

Tricuspid Stenosis and Pathogenesis of the Condition

Patient was educated on tricuspid stenosis and its pathogenesis as follows: Tricuspid valve is the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle and is also called right atrioventricular valve. Tricuspid valve permits one-way flow of blood, from the right atrium to right ventricle. Tricuspid stenosis is a condition of narrowing of the tricuspid valve opening. Narrowing of the tricuspid valve restricts the blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. The volume [...]

Left Heart and Valves on Left Heart

Patient was educated on left heart and the valves on the left heart as follows: The oxygenated blood from the lungs, through pulmonary veins, will enter the left heart, into the left atrium. This blood in the atrium will be pumped into the left ventricle through a valve (left atrioventricular valve, also called bicuspid valve). As soon as, the blood moves from the left atrium into the left ventricle, the valve between these chambers will [...]

Right Heart and Valves on Right Heart

Patient was educated on the right heart and the valves on right heart as follows: Right heart receives deoxygenated blood from the entire body through two major veins, superior and inferior vena cava, into the right atrium. This deoxygenated blood from the right atrium will be pumped into the right ventricle through a valve (right atrioventricular valve, also called tricuspid valve). As soon as, the blood moves from the right atrium into the right ventricle, [...]
