  https://www.columbiacardiology.org/news/reducing-guesswork-tricuspid-regurgitation-care

  For people with tricuspid valve regurgitation, there are a number of viable strategies to treat their condition, including minimally invasive transcatheter valve replacement and valve repair. […] The tricuspid valve controls the flow of blood from the right atrium into the right ventricle, where it is passed along to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. In tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the valve doesnt close correctly, allowing blood to flow back into the right atrium. This forces the heart to work harder to pump blood, leading to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat. Over time, severe tricuspid regurgitation causes right-side heart strain and can lead to heart failure. […] Tricuspid valve repair uses clip-like devices to hold the existing valve flaps together or rings to reshape the valve. This reduces regurgitation and restores a more natural blood flow and pressure.

• #18 Reducing the Guesswork in Tricuspid Regurgitation Care | Division of Cardiology

  https://www.columbiacardiology.org/news/reducing-guesswork-tricuspid-regurgitation-care

  In tricuspid valve replacement, an artificial valve device is implanted in the diseased valve and takes over its function, which dramatically reduces or eliminates regurgitation. […] Understanding the hemodynamics involved can help determine if that pressure would be too much for a persons heart to tolerate. […] Using a pressure-volume analysis lets us determine which patients will have enough reserve (the difference between resting output and output under exertion) and sufficient right ventricular contractile function to be able to tolerate valve replacement. […] Assessing V-PA coupling can potentially provide additional insight into what treatment strategy might be the better option.

Talk about your feelings rather than bottling it up. […] Keep all follow-up visits and imaging tests ordered by your cardiologist and valve specialist. […] Tell your doctor if symptoms get worse. For example, if you notice new or more: Swelling in your belly, legs or ankles, Shortness of breath, Lack of energy, Weakness. […] Always take medicines as directed. Diuretics (water pills) can be difficult given frequent trips to the bathroom, but getting rid of excess fluid is important and will help you feel better; tell your care team about any challenges or concerns.
