Tricuspid valve regurgitation is a type of heart valve disease in which the valve between the two right heart chambers (right ventricle and right atrium) doesn't close properly. As a result, blood leaks backward into the upper right chamber (right atrium).
Trivial TR is a normal finding in healthy heart. Your echo is normal. Post covid palpitations are also seen in many patients. However if the symptoms are severe enough, you may need some medication.
Tricuspid regurgitation occurs when this valve doesn't properly close. This can cause blood to flow back up into the right atrium when the right ventricle contracts. Over time, this condition can weaken your heart. Tricuspid regurgitation is also known as tricuspid valve insufficiency.
Blood normally goes through the valve in mainly one direction, from the right atrium to the right ventricle, with no or minimal regurgitation (back flow) or insufficiency. Trace, trivial, mild, or “physiologic TR” is a small amount of regurgitation that is considered to be a normal finding and is not cause for concern.
Trace tricuspid regurgitation basically means that only a tiny bit of blood leaks back in to the upper right chamber of the heart. The simple answer to the question is no you should not be worried. In fact trace tricuspid regurgitation is considered a normal finding.
If the arotic root is obliquely aligned with it's leaflets one may even get a physiological AR . While it is better to ignore these lesions , some call it as Trivial MR / TR/AR . This can be detected up to 40 % of individuals. What does trivial regurgitation mean to a doctor ? It means nothing .
Pulmonary valve regurgitation occurs when the pulmonary valve doesn't completely close and allows some blood to leak back into the heart. This condition is also known as pulmonic regurgitation, pulmonic insufficiency and pulmonary insufficiency.
When the mitral valve does not fully close and leaks (i.e. blood flows backwards) it is called mitral regurgitation. A trivial or mild amount of mitral regurgitation is considered within normal physiological limits. Concern is raised when the mitral regurgitation becomes moderate to severe.
(Tricuspid Insufficiency; Tricuspid Incompetence) Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is insufficiency of the tricuspid valve causing blood flow from the right ventricle to the right atrium during systole. The most common cause is dilation of the right ventricle.
Aortic regurgitation, also known as aortic valve regurgitation or aortic valve insufficiency, occurs when the aortic valve doesn't completely close and allows some blood to leak back into the heart. Aortic regurgitation can be trivial, mild, moderate or severe.
Systolic regurgitant murmurs include the many variations of mitral valve regurgitation, tricuspid valve regurgitation, and ventricular septal defect.
The bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve with two cusps found between the left atrium and left ventricle. The tricuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve with three cusps found between the right atrium and right ventricle.
