Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is tricuspid regurgitation?
Tricuspid regurgitation is a disorder involving backward flow of blood across the tricuspid valve which separates the right ventricle (lower heart chamber) from the right atrium (upper heart chamber).
This occurs during contraction of the right ventricle and is caused by damage to the tricuspid heart valve or enlargement of the right ventricle.
Alternative Names:
Tricuspid insufficiency
