tricuspid valve





























the tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, at the superior portion of the right ventricle. the function of the valve is to prevent back flow (regurgitation) of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium during right ventricular contraction: systole.

tricuspid valve
the tricuspid valve can be affected by rheumatic fever, which can cause tricuspid stenosis or tricuspid regurgitation. some individuals are born with congenital abnormalities of the tricuspid valve. congenital apical displacement of the tricuspid valve is called ebstein's anomaly and typically causes significant tricuspid regurgitation.





























certain carcinoid syndromes can affect the tricuspid valve by producing fibrosis due to serotonin production by those tumors.





























the first endovascular tricuspid valve implant was performed by surgeons at the cleveland clinic.
