Overview
The natural course of tricuspid stenosis is not well defined and it is extremely rare for TS to occur in isolation.[1] The most common cause of TS is rheumatic heart disease and it is usually associated with coexisting mitral valve and/or aortic valve abnormality.[1] TS of rheumatic etiology usually occurs with tricuspid regurgitation. Tricuspid stenosis takes years to develop, with some exceptions such as congenital causes. Complications of tricuspid stenosis include heart failure, liver failure, and stroke.[2]
Complication[1]
The following complications may occur from tricuspid stenosis:
- Right atrial enlargement
- Atrial fibrillation
- Heart failure
- Cerebrovascular accidents
Prognosis
With medical intervention, severe tricuspid stenosis appears well tolerated over several years of follow-up.[1]
