Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej
Objawy
Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej charakteryzuje się nieprawidłowym funkcjonowaniem zastawki między prawym przedsionkiem a prawą komorą serca, z objawami zależnymi od stopnia zaawansowania. W stadium łagodnym (stadium B) objawy kliniczne są zwykle nieobecne, a objętość regurgitacji jest mniejsza niż 45 ml. W miarę progresji do umiarkowanej i ciężkiej niedomykalności (stadia C i D) pojawiają się objawy takie jak zmęczenie, duszność, obrzęki obwodowe i wodobrzusze, pulsowanie w żyłach szyjnych, arytmie oraz objawy prawostronnej niewydolności serca. Roczna śmiertelność w stadium D, przy leczeniu zachowawczym, wynosi 36-42%, a ryzyko zgonu jest 2-3,2-krotnie wyższe niż w łagodnej postaci. Czynniki ryzyka progresji obejmują wiek, płeć żeńską, choroby lewej strony serca, nadciśnienie płucne oraz migotanie przedsionków.

Objawy choroby zastawki trójdzielnej
Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej dotyczy nieprawidłowego funkcjonowania zastawki między prawym przedsionkiem a prawą komorą serca. Nasilenie objawów jest ściśle powiązane ze stopniem zaawansowania choroby. Łagodna postać choroby zastawki trójdzielnej często nie powoduje żadnych objawów i może pozostać niezauważona przez wiele lat. Jednak wraz z progresją schorzenia, objawy stają się coraz bardziej widoczne.123
Objawy łagodnej choroby zastawki trójdzielnej
U pacjentów z łagodną chorobą zastawki trójdzielnej zwykle nie występują objawy kliniczne. Łagodny przeciek zastawki trójdzielnej (określany jako „trace tricuspid regurgitation”) nie stanowi powodu do niepokoju i często jest przypadkowo wykrywany podczas badań wykonywanych z innych przyczyn.45 Pacjenci z łagodną niedomykalnością zastawki trójdzielnej często nigdy nie rozwijają problemów zdrowotnych z tego powodu i mogą przejść przez całe życie bez żadnych komplikacji.67
Objawy umiarkowanej i ciężkiej choroby zastawki trójdzielnej
Wraz z postępem choroby do stadium umiarkowanego lub ciężkiego, pacjenci zaczynają doświadczać objawów, które mogą znacząco wpływać na codzienne funkcjonowanie. Do najczęstszych objawów umiarkowanej i ciężkiej choroby zastawki trójdzielnej należą:89
- Zmęczenie i osłabienie – często pierwszy objaw, jaki pacjent zauważa; występuje zarówno podczas aktywności fizycznej, jak i w spoczynku1011
- Duszność (dyspnea) – szczególnie podczas wysiłku fizycznego lub w pozycji leżącej1213
- Obrzęki obwodowe – obrzęk kończyn dolnych, kostek i stóp1415
- Obrzęk jamy brzusznej (wodobrzusze) – spowodowany zastoinową niewydolnością prawej komory serca1617
- Powiększenie wątroby i dyskomfort w prawym podżebrzu1819
- Pulsowanie w żyłach szyjnych – charakterystyczny objaw niedomykalności zastawki trójdzielnej2021
- Zaburzenia rytmu serca (arytmie) – odczuwane jako kołatanie lub trzepotanie serca2223
- Zmniejszona tolerancja wysiłku – trudności w wykonywaniu codziennych czynności2425
- Szmer sercowy – słyszalny podczas osłuchiwania serca2627
- Nagłe przybranie na wadze – spowodowane zatrzymaniem płynów2829
- Zmniejszona ilość wydalanego moczu3031
Objawy niewydolności prawokomorowej
W zaawansowanych stadiach choroby zastawki trójdzielnej często rozwijają się objawy prawostronnej niewydolności serca. Są to:3233
- Nasilona duszność – nawet podczas niewielkiego wysiłku lub w spoczynku34
- Wodobrzusze – znaczne nagromadzenie płynu w jamie brzusznej35
- Obrzęki uogólnione (anasarca) – rozlany obrzęk całego ciała36
- Zaburzenia wchłaniania w jelitach – mogące prowadzić do niedożywienia37
- Sinica – niebieskawe zabarwienie skóry i błon śluzowych38
- Zespół wątrobowo-sercowy – niewydolność wątroby wtórna do niewydolności serca39
- Zespół sercowo-nerkowy – niewydolność nerek wtórna do niewydolności serca40
Progresja choroby zastawki trójdzielnej
Choroba zastawki trójdzielnej może rozwijać się powoli przez wiele lat, ale może również postępować i prowadzić do poważnych powikłań. Zrozumienie stadiów progresji choroby jest istotne dla odpowiedniego leczenia.4142
Stadia choroby zastawki trójdzielnej
Zgodnie z wytycznymi American College of Cardiology (ACC) i American Heart Association (AHA), chorobę zastawki trójdzielnej można sklasyfikować w czterech podstawowych stadiach:4344
- Stadium A: Ryzyko – obecne są czynniki ryzyka choroby zastawki trójdzielnej, ale bez zmian w strukturze zastawki
- Stadium B: Progresja – choroba zastawki jest łagodna lub umiarkowana, bez objawów klinicznych. Objętość krwi płynącej wstecznie jest mniejsza niż 45 ml.
- Stadium C: Bezobjawowa ciężka postać – choroba zastawki jest ciężka, ale pacjent nie odczuwa objawów
- Stadium D: Objawowa ciężka postać – ciężka choroba zastawki z wyraźnymi objawami prawostronnej niewydolności serca
Czynniki wpływające na progresję choroby
Progresja choroby zastawki trójdzielnej jest uwarunkowana wieloma czynnikami:4546
- Wiek – wraz z wiekiem wzrasta częstość występowania istotnej niedomykalności zastawki trójdzielnej. U mężczyzn i kobiet w wieku 70 lat częstość występowania umiarkowanej i ciężkiej niedomykalności trójdzielnej sięga odpowiednio 1,5% i 5,6%.47
- Płeć – kobiety są bardziej narażone na progresję do ciężkiej niedomykalności trójdzielnej w porównaniu z mężczyznami.48
- Schorzenia współistniejące – choroby lewej strony serca, nadciśnienie płucne, migotanie przedsionków49
- Przebudowa serca – rozstrzeń prawej komory i przedsionka50
W przypadku choroby zastawki trójdzielnej ważne jest zrozumienie, że ciężkość objawów nie zawsze koreluje ze stopniem uszkodzenia zastawki. Pacjenci z ciężką niedomykalnością mogą mieć minimalne objawy, podczas gdy inni z umiarkowaną niedomykalnością mogą odczuwać znaczne dolegliwości.51
Przebieg naturalny i rokowanie
Naturalny przebieg choroby zastawki trójdzielnej zależy od jej nasilenia i przyczyny. Ważne aspekty prognozy obejmują:5253
- Łagodna niedomykalność – często nie postępuje do bardziej zaawansowanych stadiów i ma dobre rokowanie, chociaż nawet łagodna niedomykalność zmniejsza przeżywalność w porównaniu z osobami bez niedomykalności trójdzielnej. Badania populacyjne wykazały około 29% większe ryzyko zgonu u pacjentów z łagodną niedomykalnością w porównaniu do zdrowych osób.54
- Umiarkowana do ciężkiej niedomykalność – wiąże się z gorszym rokowaniem. Nieleczona ciężka niedomykalność trójdzielna może prowadzić do postępującego pogarszania się objawów, wodobrzusza, zakrzepów krwi, kardiomiopatii wątrobowej i niewydolności serca.55
- Śmiertelność – jednoroczna śmiertelność w przypadku ciężkiej, leczonej zachowawczo niedomykalności trójdzielnej wynosi 36-42%, z 2-3,2-krotnie zwiększonym ryzykiem zgonu w porównaniu z łagodną niedomykalnością.56
Rokowanie w chorobie zastawki trójdzielnej jest zazwyczaj dobre, szczególnie w przypadku łagodnej postaci. Wielu pacjentów może funkcjonować przy regularnych kontrolach i farmakoterapii. Jednak osoby z ciężką, nieleczoną chorobą mają często niepomyślne rokowanie, z postępującym pogorszeniem objawów i rozwojem powikłań.5758
Powikłania choroby zastawki trójdzielnej
Nieleczona ciężka choroba zastawki trójdzielnej może prowadzić do poważnych powikłań:5960
- Niewydolność prawokomorowa – przeciążenie objętościowe prowadzi do powiększenia i osłabienia prawej komory61
- Arytmie przedsionkowe, szczególnie migotanie przedsionków, które zwiększa ryzyko zakrzepów i udarów6263
- Niewydolność nerek – wtórna do zmniejszonego przepływu krwi64
- Niewydolność wątroby – spowodowana przewlekłym zastojem żylnym65
- Zaburzenia wchłaniania – związane z obrzękiem ściany jelit66
- Wyniszczenie (kacheksja) – w zaawansowanych stadiach67
Monitorowanie i wczesne wykrywanie progresji
Regularne monitorowanie jest kluczowe dla pacjentów z chorobą zastawki trójdzielnej, niezależnie od stadium. Wczesne wykrycie progresji choroby umożliwia wdrożenie odpowiedniego leczenia i zapobieganie powikłaniom.6869
Objawy wskazujące na progresję choroby
Pacjenci z rozpoznaną chorobą zastawki trójdzielnej powinni zwracać uwagę na następujące objawy, które mogą wskazywać na progresję choroby:7071
- Nasilenie duszności, szczególnie podczas mniejszego wysiłku niż wcześniej
- Zwiększenie obrzęków kończyn dolnych
- Znaczny przyrost masy ciała w krótkim czasie
- Zwiększenie obwodu brzucha
- Nowe lub nasilone kołatanie serca
- Zmniejszona tolerancja wysiłku
- Omdlenia lub zasłabnięcia podczas wysiłku
Regularne kontrole medyczne
Pacjenci z chorobą zastawki trójdzielnej powinni podlegać regularnym kontrolom medycznym:7273
- Osoby z umiarkowaną lub ciężką chorobą zastawki trójdzielnej bez objawów powinny mieć badanie kontrolne i echokardiogram co 6-12 miesięcy
- W przypadku pojawienia się nowych lub nasilenia istniejących objawów, należy niezwłocznie zgłosić się do lekarza
- Szczególną uwagę należy zwrócić na kontrolę u kobiet w ciąży lub planujących ciążę, gdyż ciąża może nasilić objawy choroby zastawki trójdzielnej74
Zaawansowana choroba zastawki trójdzielnej, mimo że początkowo może przebiegać bezobjawowo, z czasem prowadzi do istotnego obciążenia serca i rozwoju objawów niewydolności prawokomorowej. Wczesne rozpoznanie i właściwe leczenie są kluczowe dla zapobiegania nieodwracalnym uszkodzeniom mięśnia sercowego i poprawy rokowania pacjentów.7576
| Stadium choroby zastawki trójdzielnej | Charakterystyka | Objawy | Rokowanie |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stadium A: Ryzyko | Obecne czynniki ryzyka bez zmian strukturalnych | Brak objawów | Bardzo dobre |
| Stadium B: Progresja | Łagodna lub umiarkowana choroba, objętość krwi płynącej wstecznie <45 ml | Brak objawów | Dobre, wymaga obserwacji |
| Stadium C: Bezobjawowa ciężka postać | Ciężka choroba zastawki bez objawów klinicznych | Brak lub minimalne objawy | Umiarkowane, wymaga regularnej kontroli |
| Stadium D: Objawowa ciężka postać | Ciężka choroba zastawki z objawami klinicznymi | Zmęczenie, duszność, obrzęki, pulsowanie w żyłach szyjnych, powiększenie wątroby | Niepomyślne bez interwencji, roczna śmiertelność 36-42% |
Podsumowując, choroba zastawki trójdzielnej może przebiegać bezobjawowo przez wiele lat, jednak w miarę postępu choroby, objawy stają się coraz bardziej widoczne i uciążliwe. Kluczowe jest wczesne rozpoznanie i odpowiednie leczenie, aby zapobiec nieodwracalnym uszkodzeniom serca i poprawić jakość życia pacjentów.7778

Tricuspid valve disease is a problem with the valve between the hearts right atrium and right ventricle. Over time, it can cause symptoms and damage the heart. […] Mild tricuspid valve disease may not cause any symptoms or problems. But moderate to severe cases can enlarge the heart and cause permanent damage over time. […] The signs and symptoms of tricuspid valve disease vary. People with mild cases might have no signs at all. Those with moderate to severe cases might have noticeable tricuspid valve disease symptoms, such as fatigue or weakness, arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), edema (swelling) in the abdomen (belly), legs, ankles or feet, enlarged liver, heart murmur, pulsing or fluttering feeling in the chest or neck, shortness of breath (dyspnea), skin that feels abnormally cold.

Tricuspid valve disease is a type of heart valve disease, also called valvular heart disease. The valve between the two right heart chambers, called the right atrium and the right ventricle, doesn’t work as it should. The heart must work harder to pump blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. […] Symptoms of tricuspid valve disease depend on the specific valve condition and how severe it is. […] Tricuspid stenosis symptoms are often mild. Symptoms may include: A fast, pounding heartbeat. Fluttering feeling in the neck. Fatigue. […] People with tricuspid regurgitation may not have symptoms. But the condition may cause vague symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, and swelling in the legs or belly. Sometimes there is a pulsing feeling in the neck veins. […] Tricuspid atresia and Ebstein anomaly symptoms often are seen at birth. They may include: Blue or gray skin and lips. Depending on skin color, these changes may be easier or harder to see. Difficulty breathing. Slow growth and poor weight gain. Tiring easily, especially during feedings.

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. […] Other symptoms may include: Active pulsing in the neck veins, Swelling in the legs, ankles, and/or feet, Decreased urine output. […] 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.
- #4 Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation: Symptoms & Treatmenthttps://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21627-tricuspid-valve-regurgitation
Tricuspid valve regurgitation is when the valve between your right atrium and right ventricle doesnt fully close. This causes some blood to flow the wrong way. Trace tricuspid regurgitation (a small amount of backward flow) isnt a concern. But severe regurgitation can cause symptoms and complications. Treatment includes medications and surgery. […] Trace or mild tricuspid regurgitation causes no symptoms. You may have symptoms with moderate to severe regurgitation, often due to the underlying conditions causing it. […] Possible symptoms (things you feel) include: Shortness of breath when youre active. Fatigue or weakness that lasts several days or more. Swelling (edema) in your belly, ankles or feet, which happens when your heart struggles to do its job. […] Moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation is more serious. It may cause symptoms and require treatments ranging from medications to surgery. […] Severe tricuspid regurgitation can cause organ damage and lead to: Kidney failure. Liver failure. Right-sided heart failure.
- #5 Stages of Tricuspid Regurgitation by Severity and Treatmenthttps://www.healthline.com/health/stages-of-tricuspid-regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation is a condition divided into four stages based on several factors. Treatment for the condition varies based on the stage and symptoms and may include watchful waiting or, in some cases, surgery. […] The ACC and AHA guidelines characterize progressive tricuspid regurgitation (stage B) as a regurgitant volume, or volume of blood flowing backward, of less than 45 milliliters (mL). […] People with stage B tricuspid regurgitation dont have symptoms. […] At this stage, people dont experience symptoms. […] People can experience symptoms of right-sided heart failure. […] Symptoms can include: pulsing in the neck veins, weakness, fatigue, enlarged liver, abdominal swelling, swelling in legs, ankles, or feet. […] According to the guidelines, surgery can help reduce symptoms in people with stage D and symptoms of right-sided heart failure.
- #6 Stages of Tricuspid Regurgitation by Severity and Treatmenthttps://www.healthline.com/health/stages-of-tricuspid-regurgitation
Mild tricuspid valve regurgitation often doesnt progress to a more advanced stage. […] People with mild tricuspid regurgitation often never develop issues. […] Severe forms of tricuspid regurgitation may have a poor outlook due to the disease or complications as a result of the underlying cause of the condition.
- #7 What Are the First Signs of Heart Valve Problems?https://www.healthline.com/health/heart/early-signs-of-heart-valve-problems
Of all these symptoms, extreme fatigue is usually the first a person will experience. […] See your doctor if you notice any new or unusual symptoms. Symptoms may overlap with other health conditions, so its important to receive a proper diagnosis. […] Likewise, the severity of the symptoms does not necessarily correspond to the severity of the valve issue. You might have few or no symptoms and have a severe heart valve issue, or you might have significant symptoms and have a mild heart valve issue. […] While heart valve issues can exist for years before causing symptoms, let your doctor know if you experience unexplained fatigue, heart palpitations, or if youre out of breath with routine activity.

Swelling in the legs, ankles and feet. Swelling of the belly area, a condition called ascites. Sudden weight gain from a buildup of fluid.
- #17 Tricuspid Regurgitation | Conditions | UCSF Healthhttps://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/tricuspid-regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation, or tricuspid valve regurgitation, is a type of heart valve disease. It occurs when the valve that controls blood flow between the heart’s two right chambers doesn’t close properly, allowing some blood to flow backward. As a result, the heart must work harder to pump blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. […] Depending on the condition of the valve, symptoms can vary widely. Possible symptoms include shortness of breath and abdominal or leg swelling, and these problems may get worse over time. […] Mild tricuspid regurgitation may not cause any symptoms. With more significant regurgitation, the heart works harder to pump, which can lead to heart failure. Symptoms of heart failure include: Pulsing neck veins, Reduced urine output, Feeling tired and weak, Swollen feet and ankles, Pain and swelling in the abdomen, Digestive issues, such as nausea and loss of appetite, Shortness of breath, Reduced ability to exercise.
- #18 Diseases of the Tricuspid Valve | The Texas Heart Institute®https://www.texasheart.org/heart-health/heart-information-center/topics/diseases-of-the-tricuspid-valve/
Two diseases of the tricuspid valve are regurgitation and stenosis. […] People with tricuspid regurgitation usually have no symptoms. For patients who have high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) as well as tricuspid regurgitation, signs and symptoms may include swelling of the stomach area, feet, and ankles, fatigue, weakness, decreased urine output, yellowing of the skin (jaundice) and fluid in the stomach area that may be associated with liver problems (ascites). […] Most people can put up with the symptoms of tricuspid regurgitation for years. If you have tricuspid regurgitation, you should see your doctor to find out if you have any underlying conditions that may contribute to the disease (such as high blood pressure in your lungs). Surgical repair or replacement of the tricuspid valve may also be needed. […] The only symptoms of tricuspid stenosis are fatigue and the pain of an enlarged liver. Symptoms are rarely severe enough to require valve surgery.
- #19 Tricuspid regurgitation – Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment | BMJ Best Practice UShttps://bestpractice.bmj.com/topics/en-us/472
Tricuspid regurgitation usually presents with fatigue, dyspnea, and lower extremity edema. Additional complaints may include abdominal distension and early satiety. […] The clinically most important form is secondary to left-sided cardiac disease, with tricuspid annular dilation. […] The disease has largely been undertreated and its impact is under appreciated. […] Key diagnostic factors include fatigue and effort intolerance, dyspnea, palpitations, jugular venous abnormality, irregular heart rhythm, parasternal systolic murmur, increased systolic murmur on inspiration (Carvallo sign), and peripheral edema. […] Other diagnostic factors include abdominal distension, early satiety, dyspepsia, or indigestion, and liver and systemic venous pulsation.
- #20 Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation Symptoms | Temple Healthhttps://www.templehealth.org/services/conditions/tricuspid-valve-regurgitation/symptoms
Often, there are no symptoms of tricuspid valve regurgitation. As a patient ages and tricuspid disease worsens, the continual backflow of blood puts extra pressure on the right atrium and weakens the heart leading to fatigue, shortness of breath, and a fluttering sensation in the neck. Later complications may include heart failure (e.g., lung congestion, fatigue at rest, fainting, swollen feet and ankles), chest pain, arrhythmias or heart attack.

The condition can arise from issues directly affecting the tricuspid valve or from changes in the heart’s structure and function that indirectly impact the valve. […] The TriClip can be helpful for patients who are older (the average age in the TRILUMINATE study was 78), have severe tricuspid regurgitation, and are at risk for complications from open heart surgery. […] They feel short of breath, particularly with activity, and have swelling in their ankles or fullness in their belly. […] Symptoms of severe tricuspid disease may also include extreme fatigue, a rapid or pounding heartbeat, active pulsing in the neck veins, and decreased urine output. […] In rare cases, fluid may accumulate in the body, especially in the legs.

[…] Signs and symptoms of tricuspid valve stenosis include: Shortness of breath, Fatigue, Palpitations (an unusual awareness of the heartbeat), Chest pain (occasionally). […] Signs and symptoms of tricuspid valve insufficiency/regurgitation include: Shortness of breath, Fatigue.
- #23 10 Symptoms of Tricuspid Valve Regurgitationhttps://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2007/08/23/symptoms-of-tricuspid-valve-regurgitation/
One of the most common questions I get via email is about heart valve disease symptoms. […] Knowing what the documented, heart valve disease symptoms is critical as the patient or caregiver tries to diagnose themselves or their loved. […] If stenosis or regurgitation occurs in the tricuspid heart valve, certain symptoms of valvular disease may manifest in the patient. […] Some of the most common tricuspid valve regurgitation symptoms are: Shortness of breath, especially with exertion or when you lie down […] Fatigue, especially during times of increased activity […] Cough, especially at night or when lying down […] Heart palpitations sensations of a rapid, fluttering heartbeat […] Swollen feet or ankles […] Heart murmur […] Excessive urination […] Chest pain (angina) or tightness […] Feeling faint or fainting with exertion […] Dizziness.

Tricuspid valve disease may not cause any symptoms until it has become severe. When individuals are symptomatic, they may report fatigue, shortness of breath, decreased exercise tolerance, swelling of the legs or abdomen and a pulsing sensation in the neck. Affected individuals may be noted to have a heart murmur, an enlarged, pulsating liver as well as a pulsating neck vein, reflecting the backflow of blood from the right side of the heart. […] Management of tricuspid valve disease depends on the severity of the disease and symptoms as well as the underlying cause. Tricuspid surgery may significantly alleviate symptoms, enhance ones quality of life and prolong survival.
- #25 Tricuspid Regurgitation Clinical Presentation: History, Physical Examinationhttps://emedicine.medscape.com/article/158484-clinical
Patients with tricuspid regurgitation present with the signs and symptoms of right-sided heart failure. The spectrum of presenting symptoms depends on whether the condition is secondary to right ventricular (RV) dilatation or other conditions (eg, left ventricular [LV] dysfunction). […] Common presenting complaints in patients with RV dysfunction include the following: Dyspnea on exertion, Orthopnea, Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, Ascites, Peripheral edema. […] Exercise intolerance may also be observed. Rarely, patients report angina, which may result from RV overload and strain, even in the absence of coronary artery disease. […] Findings on cardiovascular examination in patients with tricuspid regurgitation include the following: S3 gallop, Jugular venous distention with a prominent V wave, In some patients, a pansystolic murmur, Diminished peripheral pulse volume secondary to impaired forward blood flow; patients with this sign may have relative hypotension secondary to therapeutic interventions used to decrease volume overload, Pulmonary rales, if the tricuspid regurgitation is associated with left ventricular dysfunction or mitral stenosis, Right ventricular heave and S4 gallop that increases with inspiration, Ascites, Peripheral edema, Cachexia and jaundice, Atrial fibrillation.

Tricuspid regurgitation symptoms vary depending on the severity of the condition. Tricuspid regurgitation can force the heart to work harder, causing symptoms that can seriously affect your quality of life. Tricuspid regurgitation worsens over time and may not cause signs or symptoms until the disease is severe. Symptoms associated with tricuspid valve regurgitation may include: A pulsing feeling in the neck due to blood flow disruptions. […] Fatigue and reduced exercise capacity as the heart works harder to compensate. […] Swelling in the feet and ankles, often worsening over time. […] A heart murmur or distinct sound caused by blood leaking backward (tricuspid valve regurgitation murmur). […] If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of tricuspid regurgitation, talk to your doctor to receive a thorough examination and proper diagnosis. You should also promptly seek treatment if you notice that your symptoms are getting worse – for example, if the swelling in your feet and ankles has increased or if you find it more difficult to perform daily activities such as walking up the stairs.

- #34 Signs and Symptomshttp://www.cardiosmart.org/topics/tricuspid-regurgitation/signs-and-symptoms
How you feel will depend on a few things, including the amount of blood that is leaking backward in the heart. […] If your valve is leaking only a little (mild tricuspid regurgitation), you may feel fine. […] As the valve starts leaking more (moderate to severe regurgitation), your heart has to work harder, and less oxygen-rich blood gets to the body. For this reason, you may feel very tired, have swelling in your ankles or feet, or feel short of breath, even after very little activity. […] Common symptoms, especially at later stages of the disease, include: […] Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired and worn out. […] Trouble breathing: Feeling short of breath, especially with activity or when exerting yourself even after going for just a short walk, shopping, visiting with family. […] Swelling: You may notice swelling or excess fluid in your belly (called ascites), legs or feet (called edema).

Tricuspid valve regurgitation often doesnt cause symptoms unless the condition is severe, and even then, the symptoms can be easy to overlook. Some signs of tricuspid regurgitation include: […] Fatigue or weakness […] Swelling in the abdomen […] Irregular heartbeat […] Shortness of breath […] Pulsing in the neck. […] Untreated tricuspid valve regurgitation can lead to additional conditions, including: Heart failure: tricuspid regurgitation can weaken the right ventricle over time, which can result in heart failure when it is no longer able to pump blood efficiently […] Atrial fibrillation (A-fib): a heart rhythm disorder, a-fib is characterized by a rapid and irregular heartbeat caused by poor blood flow.

People with mild tricuspid regurgitation may have no symptoms. Symptoms that do occur usually start after several years. They include swelling in the feet, legs, or abdomen (belly) and breathing problems, especially when lying down. Other symptoms are uneven heartbeat, coughing up blood, and chest pain. Weakness, tiredness, and low urine volume may occur. People may develop an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. When this occurs, the atrium doesnt contract normally, blood pools in the atrium, and clots may form. These clots may travel to the brain and cause strokes. […] Treatment depends on severity, age, and overall health. For mild conditions, no treatment is needed. Some people with atrial fibrillation take anticoagulant medicine to prevent blood clots. For heart failure, diuretics lower blood fluid volume so the heart doesnt have to work as hard. Vasodilator medicines may be used when heart failure becomes worse. Severe tricuspid regurgitation may require valve replacement or repair (valvuloplasty).

The symptoms of TR depend on its severity. Severe TR causes right-sided heart failure, with the development of ascites and peripheral edema. […] In severe cases of right heart failure due to TR, venous congestion of the kidneys and liver may lead to cardiorenal syndrome (kidney failure secondary to heart failure) and cardiohepatic syndromes (liver failure secondary to heart failure) respectively. […] Venous congestion from TR and right heart failure may also lead to anasarca (diffuse swelling) and decreased intestinal absorption due to the swelling surrounding the intestines, in severe cases this may lead to cachexia and malnutrition. […] The prognosis of TR is less favorable for females than males. Females are at a greater risk of progressing to severe TR as compared to males. […] Survival rates are proportional to TR severity; but even mild TR reduces survival compared to those with no TR. In some studies, the 1 year mortality rate of severe, medically treated TR is 36-42% with a 2-3.2 times increased risk of death in moderate or severe TR as compared to mild TR or no tricuspid valvular disease. […] Even in those with mild TR, a large population based study showed about a 29% greater risk of death as compared to healthy controls.

- #68 Tricuspid Valve Disease – Heart Valve Voicehttps://heartvalvevoice.com/heart-valve-disease/the-condition/tricuspid-valve-disease/
Tricuspid valve disease affects the valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle of the heart. The tricuspid valve normally allows blood to flow in one direction from the right atrium to the right ventricle. However, when the valve becomes diseased, this flow can be either restricted (tricuspid valve stenosis) or can leak backwards (tricuspid valve regurgitation). […] Symptoms can vary widely and may include: Fatigue or general weakness. Shortness of breath (dyspnea). Swelling (oedema) in the legs, abdomen, or feet. Atrial fibrillation or other irregular heart rhythms. Pulsing or fluttering sensation in the neck. An enlarged liver, and sometimes cold or discoloured skin. […] Regular monitoring is crucial, especially as the disease progresses.

After testing confirms a diagnosis of tricuspid valve disease, your healthcare team may tell you the stage of disease. Staging helps determine the most appropriate treatment. […] The stage of heart valve disease depends on many things, including symptoms, disease severity, the structure of the valve or valves, and blood flow through the heart and lungs. […] Heart valve disease is staged into four basic groups: Stage A: At risk. Risk factors for heart valve disease are present. Stage B: Progressive. Valve disease is mild or moderate. There are no heart valve symptoms. Stage C: Asymptomatic severe. There are no heart valve symptoms but the valve disease is severe. Stage D: Symptomatic severe. Heart valve disease is severe and is causing symptoms. […] Treatment of tricuspid valve disease depends on the specific valve condition and how severe it is.
