Overview
An chest x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of tricuspid regurgitation during the initial evaluation as well as during follow-up among adolescent and young adult patients. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of tricuspid regurgitation include cardiomegaly, prominent cardiac silhouette, right atrial enlargement and pleural effusions.
X ray
An chest x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of tricuspid regurgitation. Findings on an chest x-ray suggestive tricuspid regurgitation include:[1]
- Cardiomegaly can be noticed when the tricuspid regurgitation is severe due to right ventricle enlargement
- Cardiac silhouette can be noticed on the right in the x-ray along with the pulmonary artery view
- Right atrial enlargement can be noticed
- A view of azygos vein can be seen when the pressure is elevated in the right atrium
- Pleural effusions can be noticed
- An upward displacement of the diaphragm can be noticed due to ascites
- Prominent right and left pulmonary artery hilar segments can be noticed on the x-ray
2008 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease - Evaluation of Tricuspid Valve Disease in Adolescents and Young Adults (DO NOT EDIT)[2]
| Class I |
| "1. Chest X-ray is indicated for the initial evaluation of adolescent and young adult patients with TR, and serially every 1 to 3 years, depending on severity. (Level C)" |
