Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka
Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej obejmuje głównie niedomykalność (regurgitację) i stenozę, prowadząc do zaburzeń przepływu krwi między prawym przedsionkiem a prawą komorą serca. Najczęstszą przyczyną niedomykalności jest powiększenie prawej komory, często wtórne do niewydolności prawokomorowej. Diagnostyka opiera się na badaniu fizykalnym (szmer holosystoliczny nasilający się przy wdechu), echokardiografii, EKG i RTG klatki piersiowej. Objawy, takie jak duszność, obrzęki kończyn dolnych, powiększenie wątroby i wodobrzusze, nasilają się wraz z postępem choroby. Leczenie zachowawcze obejmuje monitorowanie, farmakoterapię (diuretyki, ACE inhibitory, beta-blokery, digoksyna, leki przeciwarytmiczne i przeciwzakrzepowe) oraz edukację pacjenta w zakresie samoobserwacji i stylu życia.

Charakterystyka choroby zastawki trójdzielnej
Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej to schorzenie, które występuje, gdy zastawka między prawym przedsionkiem a prawą komorą serca nie funkcjonuje prawidłowo. Zastawka trójdzielna kontroluje przepływ krwi między górną prawą komorą serca (prawym przedsionkiem) a dolną prawą komorą (prawą komorą). Gdy zastawka nie działa prawidłowo, może to powodować utrudnienie przepływu krwi i zmniejszenie wydajności pracy serca.12
Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej może występować w dwóch głównych postaciach:
- Niedomykalność zastawki trójdzielnej (regurgitacja) – zastawka nie zamyka się całkowicie, co powoduje wsteczny przepływ krwi z prawej komory do prawego przedsionka podczas skurczu komory. Jest to częstszy typ choroby zastawki trójdzielnej.12
- Stenoza zastawki trójdzielnej – zwężenie zastawki spowodowane zlepieniem i zwłóknieniem płatków zastawki, co ogranicza przepływ krwi z przedsionka do komory.12
Warto zaznaczyć, że zastawka trójdzielna jest często nazywana „zapomnianą zastawką”, ponieważ jej problemy są rzadsze i mniej wyraźne niż w przypadku innych zastawek serca, przez co czasami są pomijane podczas badań kardiologicznych. Jednak prawidłowe funkcjonowanie tej zastawki jest kluczowe dla zdrowia.12
Przyczyny i czynniki ryzyka
Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej może być spowodowana różnymi czynnikami:12
- Choroba reumatyczna serca – często powiązana z chorobami zastawki mitralnej
- Infekcyjne zapalenie wsierdzia
- Nadciśnienie płucne
- Powiększenie prawej komory serca
- Wady wrodzone serca (np. anomalia Ebsteina)
- Kardiomiopatia prawej komory
- Uszkodzenie zastawki spowodowane przez elektrody stymulatorów lub defibrylatorów
Najczęstszą przyczyną niedomykalności zastawki trójdzielnej nie jest uszkodzenie samej zastawki, ale powiększenie prawej komory, które może być powikłaniem każdego zaburzenia powodującego niewydolność prawej komory serca.1
Objawy i diagnostyka choroby zastawki trójdzielnej
Objawy choroby zastawki trójdzielnej są często niespecyficzne i mogą być nieobecne w łagodnych przypadkach. Ich nasilenie zależy od stopnia zaawansowania choroby.1
Typowe objawy
Do najczęstszych objawów choroby zastawki trójdzielnej należą:123
- Ogólne zmęczenie i osłabienie
- Duszność, szczególnie podczas wysiłku
- Obrzęki kończyn dolnych
- Powiększenie wątroby i dyskomfort w prawym górnym kwadrancie brzucha
- Wodobrzusze (gromadzenie płynu w jamie brzusznej)
- Tętniąca wątroba
- Pulsacja żył szyjnych
- Nieregularne bicie serca (kołatanie)
- Zmniejszone wydalanie moczu
W przypadku ciężkiej choroby zastawki trójdzielnej pacjenci mogą doświadczać objawów niewydolności prawokomorowej serca, takich jak znaczne obrzęki, powiększenie wątroby, żółtaczka oraz znaczna duszność.1
Diagnostyka
W procesie diagnostycznym choroby zastawki trójdzielnej wykorzystuje się różne metody:12
- Badanie fizykalne – może ujawnić charakterystyczny szmer holosystoliczny/pansystoliczny w okolicy zastawki trójdzielnej. Szmer jest wysokotonowy, nasila się podczas wdechu i jest najlepiej słyszalny w okolicy przymostkowej w 4. przestrzeni międzyżebrowej.
- Echokardiografia – podstawowe badanie w ocenie struktury i funkcji zastawki trójdzielnej.
- EKG – może wykazać powiększenie prawego przedsionka i prawej komory.
- RTG klatki piersiowej – może uwidocznić powiększenie prawej komory z zacieraniem przestrzeni zamostkowej w projekcji bocznej.
- Cewnikowanie serca – w wybranych przypadkach dla dokładniejszej oceny hemodynamiki.
W przypadku podejrzenia choroby zastawki trójdzielnej pacjent zazwyczaj kierowany jest do kardiologa, który przeprowadza szczegółową diagnostykę i określa stopień zaawansowania choroby.1
Leczenie i opieka pielęgnacyjna w chorobie zastawki trójdzielnej
Leczenie choroby zastawki trójdzielnej zależy od jej przyczyny, rodzaju (niedomykalność czy stenoza) oraz stopnia zaawansowania. Plan leczenia jest indywidualnie dostosowywany do każdego pacjenta.12
Monitorowanie stanu pacjenta
W przypadku łagodnej lub umiarkowanej choroby zastawki trójdzielnej, gdy objawy są minimalne lub nieobecne, leczenie może ograniczać się do regularnego monitorowania:12
- Regularne wizyty kontrolne (co 6 miesięcy lub raz w roku)
- Seryjne badania echokardiograficzne do oceny funkcji zastawki
- Monitorowanie objawów niewydolności serca
- Ocena stopnia powiększenia prawego przedsionka i prawej komory
Pielęgniarska opieka nad pacjentem w okresie monitorowania obejmuje:12
- Edukację pacjenta na temat objawów wymagających pilnej konsultacji lekarskiej
- Instruktaż dotyczący samoobserwacji i pomiarów (np. waga, obrzęki)
- Wsparcie w przestrzeganiu terminów wizyt kontrolnych
- Motywowanie do zdrowego stylu życia
Leczenie farmakologiczne
Farmakoterapia w chorobie zastawki trójdzielnej ma na celu głównie łagodzenie objawów i leczenie chorób współistniejących:123
Najczęściej stosowane leki to:
- Diuretyki (w tym oszczędzające potas) – do kontroli przeciążenia objętościowego i zmniejszenia obrzęków
- Inhibitory konwertazy angiotensyny (ACE) – w leczeniu niewydolności serca
- Beta-blokery – do kontroli rytmu serca
- Digoksyna – w przypadku niewydolności serca i migotania przedsionków
- Leki przeciwarytmiczne – do kontroli migotania przedsionków
- Leki przeciwzakrzepowe – szczególnie przy migotaniu przedsionków lub po wymianie zastawki
Rola pielęgniarki w procesie farmakoterapii obejmuje:12
- Edukację pacjenta dotyczącą prawidłowego przyjmowania leków
- Monitorowanie skuteczności leczenia i występowania działań niepożądanych

- Instruktaż dotyczący pomiarów ciśnienia tętniczego i tętna
- Systematyczną ocenę stanu pacjenta pod kątem objawów niewydolności serca
Leczenie zabiegowe
W przypadku zaawansowanej choroby zastawki trójdzielnej, gdy leczenie zachowawcze jest niewystarczające, konieczne może być leczenie zabiegowe:123
Dostępne są następujące opcje:
- Naprawa zastawki trójdzielnej (walwuloplastyka) – preferowana gdy to możliwe, może obejmować:
- Annuloplastykę (zwężenie lub wzmocnienie pierścienia zastawki syntetycznym pierścieniem)
- Komisurotomię (przy stenozie)
- Naprawę/wymianę nici ścięgnistych i mięśni brodawkowatych
- Wymiana zastawki trójdzielnej – gdy naprawa nie jest możliwa:
- Zastawki biologiczne (tkankowe) – preferowane w pozycji trójdzielnej
- Zastawki mechaniczne – rzadziej stosowane ze względu na wyższe ryzyko zakrzepicy
- Przezcewnikowe metody leczenia – mniej inwazyjne opcje dla pacjentów wysokiego ryzyka:
- Przezcewnikowa naprawa zastawki trójdzielnej (TEER) z użyciem klipsa (np. TriClip)
- Przezcewnikowa wymiana zastawki trójdzielnej (TTVR)
| Metoda leczenia | Wskazania | Zalety | Opieka pielęgniarska |

- Konieczne są dokładne i regularne badania kontrolne w czasie ciąży
- W przypadku ciężkiej niedomykalności zastawki trójdzielnej kobietom może być odradzane zachodzenie w ciążę ze względu na ryzyko powikłań, w tym niewydolności serca
- Planowanie ciąży powinno być konsultowane z zespołem kardiologicznym i położniczym
- Może być konieczna modyfikacja farmakoterapii (niektóre leki są przeciwwskazane w ciąży)
Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej u pacjentów wysokiego ryzyka
Pacjenci z zaawansowaną chorobą zastawki trójdzielnej i licznymi chorobami współistniejącymi stanowią szczególne wyzwanie terapeutyczne:12
- Nowe, mniej inwazyjne metody leczenia (np. TEER, TTVR) stają się opcją dla pacjentów niekwalifikujących się do operacji otwartej
- U pacjentów starszych i osłabionych głównym celem może być poprawa jakości życia, a nie długoterminowe przeżycie
- Opieka paliatywna może być integralnym elementem leczenia w zaawansowanych przypadkach
- Istotna jest kompleksowa ocena stanu pacjenta i indywidualizacja celów terapeutycznych
Kwalifikacja do zabiegów i wybór metody leczenia
Decyzja o wyborze metody leczenia wymaga multidyscyplinarnego podejścia i uwzględnienia wielu czynników:123

The tricuspid valve controls the flow of blood between the upper right chamber of the heart (right atrium) and the lower right chamber (right ventricle). Tricuspid valve regurgitation happens when the valve can’t close all the way. This lets blood leak backward (regurgitate) into the right atrium. […] Your doctor may check your heart regularly. The doctor will likely recommend a heart-healthy lifestyle. You may take medicine to treat a problem that is causing, or was caused by, the regurgitation. If the disease becomes severe, you may choose to have the valve repaired or replaced. […] Be safe with medicines. Take your medicines exactly as prescribed. Call your doctor if you think you are having a problem with your medicine. You will get more details on the specific medicines your doctor prescribes. […] Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It’s also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
- #1 Problem: Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation | American Heart Associationhttps://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/heart-valve-problems-and-disease/heart-valve-problems-and-causes/problem-tricuspid-valve-regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation is leakage of blood backward through the tricuspid valve each time the right ventricle contracts. […] Tricuspid regurgitation may not have symptoms or the symptoms may be vague, such as weakness and fatigue. The symptoms of tricuspid regurgitation develop due to a backup in volume and pressure from the right side of heart and venous system, resulting in abdominal swelling and engorgement or enlarged liver. […] Treatment may not be required if the symptoms are not bothersome. Any underlying disorder, such as emphysema or pulmonary stenosis, should be treated when possible, and symptoms such as swelling can be managed with medications. […] Surgical valve repair or valve replacement usually corrects the condition. Those with untreated, severe tricuspid regurgitation may face a poor prognosis, either from the valve disease itself or because of complications from the underlying condition causing the valve problem.

- #1 Tricuspid Valve Research | Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundationhttps://mplsheart.org/tricuspid-valve-research
The tricuspid valve is often called „the forgotten valve. Why? Its problems are more rare and subtle than other valves, and sometimes overlooked in heart health checks. But the tricuspid valve is vital to good health. If someone has a leaky tricuspid valvealso known as tricuspid regurgitationthey may be short of breath, tired, and retain fluid. […] At the Valve Science Center, our world-class team is actively involved in tricuspid research and clinical trials aimed at improving patient outcomes worldwide. This work is in partnership with Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute physicians. […] The highly successful TRILUMINATE trial is revolutionizing tricuspid valve disease care, and MHIF is proud to be one of its trailblazers. After receiving FDA approval in 2024, the TriClip is now accessible to more patients, providing hope to those who previously had limited treatment options.
- #1 Tricuspid Valve Disease (Types, Causes, Symptoms and Treatment)https://patient.info/doctor/tricuspid-valve-disease
The majority of serious heart valve problems affect the mitral and aortic valves. Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is more common than tricuspid stenosis and usually develops in association with pulmonary hypertension in patients with mitral stenosis or mitral regurgitation. […] Diuretics are useful in the presence of heart failure symptoms but are of limited long-term efficacy. […] Intervention on the tricuspid valve is usually performed concomitantly during procedures for left-sided valve disease in patients who are symptomatic despite medical therapy. […] Tricuspid valve repair should be performed during left-sided surgery in patients with secondary tricuspid regurgitation. […] Severe tricuspid regurgitation is associated with impaired survival and worsening heart failure. Appropriate timing of intervention is essential to avoid irreversible right ventricular damage and organ failure with subsequent increased surgical risk.

Symptoms of tricuspid valve disease depend on the specific valve condition and how severe it is. […] Treatment of tricuspid valve disease depends on the specific valve condition and how severe it is. […] If tricuspid valve disease symptoms are not bothering you, you may only need regular echocardiograms to see how the valve is working. […] Medicine may be used to treat the underlying cause of tricuspid valve disease. […] If you have severe tricuspid valve disease, surgery may be done to fix or replace the valve. […] Talk with your healthcare team about all your treatment options. Together you can decide which treatment is best for you.

- #1 Tricuspid Regurgitation Treatment & Management: Approach Considerations, Medical Therapy, Surgical Carehttps://emedicine.medscape.com/article/158484-treatment
The choice of treatment for tricuspid regurgitation depends on the etiology and severity of the condition. Medical therapy may be used in tricuspid regurgitation secondary to left-sided heart failure. With mild tricuspid regurgitation associated with mitral valve disease and pulmonary hypertension, the tricuspid regurgitation itself does not require intervention. As pulmonary vascular pressures fall with successful mitral valve therapy, the tricuspid regurgitation tends to disappear. […] Surgical options include annuloplasty and valve replacement. Indications for surgical intervention include the following: Structural deformity of the valve (eg, Ebstein anomaly), Destruction of the valve by bacterial endocarditis, Severe ventricular dilatation that is uncontrolled with medical therapy. […] For patients in whom tricuspid regurgitation is secondary to left-sided heart failure, treatment centers on adequate control of fluid overload and failure symptoms (eg, diuretic therapy). Patients should be instructed to reduce their intake of salt. Elevation of the head of the bed may improve symptoms of shortness of breath.

The tricuspid valve controls the flow of blood between the upper right chamber of the heart (right atrium) and the lower right chamber (right ventricle). Tricuspid valve regurgitation happens when the valve can’t close all the way. This lets blood leak backward (regurgitate) into the right atrium. […] Your doctor may check your heart regularly. The doctor will likely recommend a heart-healthy lifestyle. You may take medicine to treat a problem that is causing, or was caused by, the regurgitation. If the disease becomes severe, you may choose to have the valve repaired or replaced. […] Be safe with medicines. Take your medicines exactly as prescribed. Call your doctor or nurse advice line if you think you are having a problem with your medicine. You will get more details on the specific medicines your doctor prescribes. […] Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse advice line if you are having problems. It’s also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

People living with tricuspid valve disease are gaining more treatment options, driven by research from Cedars-Sinai investigators and collaborators at other leading medical institutions. […] Now, an increasing number of studies show that cardiac interventionalists can successfully use minimally invasive catheter-based techniques. Catheter-based procedures offer an alternative for patients who are not candidates for open-heart surgery. […] Today, advances in minimally invasive treatments like transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) are providing new hope. These innovative procedures offer safe and effective options for high-risk patients who previously had limited or no treatment alternatives, focusing on enhancing quality of life. […] Minimally invasive procedures for the tricuspid valve are generally the only option for older or frail patients, who are unable to withstand traditional open-heart surgery. […] Selecting the right treatment involves careful evaluation of the patients health, anatomy and goals. We prioritize improving quality of life, particularly for patients experiencing severe fatigue and breathlessness.

TV disease is an often under-recognized clinical problem that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. […] Furthermore, patients will often present late in their disease course with severe right-sided heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and life-limiting symptoms that have few durable treatment options. […] Traditionally, the only treatment for TV disease has been medical therapy or valve surgery; however, there has been increasing interest and success with the use of transcatheter TV therapies over the past several years to treat patients with previously limited therapeutic options. […] It is important to consider the lifetime management of patients with TV disease. When young patients present with severe tricuspid regurgitation, they will need a durable device and ideally the potential option of a second transcatheter device in the future should the first device deteriorate over time. […] For elderly, frail patients, alleviating symptoms and improving their present quality of life may be the primary goal; therefore, long-term lifetime management may not be as applicable.

- #2 Tricuspid Valve Disease | Baylor Scott & White Healthhttps://www.bswhealth.com/conditions/tricuspid-valve-disease
Tricuspid valve disease can occur when the heart valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle, which normally has three flaps or cusps, becomes narrowed. This lessens the amount of blood flowing into the right ventricle and can reduce the efficiency of the heart. […] In tricuspid stenosis, a type of tricuspid valve disease, the right atrium becomes enlarged, while the right ventricle does not fill completely and remains small. […] If the valve does not close properly, some blood flowing into the ventricle leaks back into the atrium with each beat. This condition is known as regurgitation or insufficiency. In tricuspid regurgitation, both right chambers enlarge substantially. […] Individuals with tricuspid valve disease are at risk for heart failure and atrial fibrillation (which increases the risk of blood clot formation). As in other types of valve disease, tricuspid disorders also increase the risk of endocarditis.

In patients with tricuspid valve endocarditis, total excision of the tricuspid valve without immediate replacement is recommended. The diseased valvular tissue is excised to eradicate the endocarditis, and antibiotic treatment is continued. Most patients tolerate loss of the tricuspid valve well for years. If right heart failure symptoms persist despite medical management and the infections have been controlled, an artificial valve can be inserted. […] Inpatient care of patients with tricuspid regurgitation requires control of the following: Heart failure, Treatment of any infectious process that may have affected the valve, Control of arrhythmias that may be present. […] Anticoagulation is generally in order if atrial fibrillation is present or valve replacement has been undertaken. The international normalized ratio (INR) should be maintained between 3-4 following valve replacement, because of the associated low flow state.

The tricuspid valve controls the flow of blood between the upper right chamber of the heart (right atrium) and the lower right chamber (right ventricle). Tricuspid valve regurgitation happens when the valve can’t close all the way. This lets blood leak backward (regurgitate) into the right atrium. […] Your doctor may check your heart regularly. The doctor will likely recommend a heart-healthy lifestyle. You may take medicine to treat a problem that is causing, or was caused by, the regurgitation. If the disease becomes severe, you may choose to have the valve repaired or replaced. […] Be safe with medicines. Take your medicines exactly as prescribed. Call your doctor or nurse advice line if you think you are having a problem with your medicine. You will get more details on the specific medicines your doctor prescribes. […] Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse advice line if you are having problems. It’s also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The tricuspid valve is a tri-leaflet conduit between the right atrium and the right ventricular. Its leaflets can be damaged or diseased, and they may not function as expected. […] Youll leave this course with a broader understanding individualized care plans and interventions for patients with tricuspid valve disorder, interventions, and postoperative care, as well as medical management. […] Tricuspid valve replacement is considered a high-risk procedure as these patients are often medically complex with comorbidities that carry their own risk of morbidity and mortality. […] Long-term studies have shown superlative outcomes with valve replacement over repair for survival rates and function of the tricuspid valve. […] Guideline-directed medical therapy may manage symptoms without intervention until they are intolerable to the patient.

Whenever possible, annuloplasty with prosthetic rings is preferable to valve replacement, which should only be considered when the tricuspid valve leaflets are tethered and the annulus severely dilated. […] The benefit of surgical correction of isolated secondary tricuspid regurgitation compared to medical treatment is not well established. However, in selected patients, surgery can be performed safely with good long-term survival. It should therefore be considered early in selected symptomatic patients appropriate for surgery, as well as in those with no or mild symptoms, right ventricular dilatation and severe tricuspid regurgitation. […] For adults, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends: Consider surgical tricuspid valve repair at the time of mitral valve surgery when tricuspid regurgitation is moderate or severe. […] Consider surgical tricuspid valve repair at the time of aortic valve surgery when tricuspid regurgitation is severe.
