==Overview==
==[[Tricuspid stenosis overview|Overview]]==
Tricuspid stenosis (TS) is a type of [[valvular heart disease]] where there is narrowing of the orifice of the [[tricuspid valve]] of the [[heart]].

==Pathophysiology==
==[[Tricuspid stenosis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
TS is characterized by structural changes in the [[tricuspid valve]]. The pathophysiology of [[tricuspid valve stenosis]] depends on the underlying etiology.  In rheumatic heart disease which is the most common cause of TS, there is diffuse scarring and fibrosis of the valve leaflets, fusion of the commissures, and shortening of the [[chordae tendinae|chordae tendineae]] as a result of inflammation.<ref name="pmid7720297">{{cite journal| author=Waller BF, Howard J, Fess S| title=Pathology of tricuspid valve stenosis and pure tricuspid regurgitation--Part I. | journal=Clin Cardiol | year= 1995 | volume= 18 | issue= 2 | pages= 97-102 | pmid=7720297 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7720297  }} </ref> These abnormalities limit leaflet mobility and reduce the size of the tricuspid orifice, increasing the transtricuspid diastolic gradient, which can eventually result in systemic venous hypertension and congestion.<ref name="pmid24603191" />


The pathophysiology of tricuspid stenosis based on the underlying etiology:<ref name="pmid7720297" />
==[[Tricuspid stenosis causes|Causes]]==
* '''Rheumatic tricuspid stenosis''':
** Diffuse scarring and fibrosis of the valve leaflets from inflammation. Fusion of the commissures may or may not occur.
** [[Chordae tendineae]] may become thickened and shortened.
** As a result of the dense collagen and elastic fibers that make up leaflet tissue, the normal leaflet layers become significantly distorted.
* [[Carcinoid|Carcinoid heart disease]]:
** Fibrous white plaques located on the valvular and mural [[endocardium]] are characteristic presentations of carcinoid valve lesions.
** Valve leaflets become thick, rigid and smaller in area.
** Atrial and ventricular surfaces of the valve structure contain fibrous tissue proliferation.
* '''Congenital tricuspid stenosis''':
** More common in infants
** Lesions may present in a number of different ways, either singularly or in any combination of the following:
*** Incompletely developed leaflets
*** Shortened or malformed chordae
*** Small annuli
*** [[Papillary muscle|Papillary muscles]] of abnormal size and number
* Infective endocarditis:
** Stenosis may develop as a result of large infected vegetations obstructing the opening of the [[tricuspid valve]].
* '''Mechanical obstruction''' of flow through the [[tricuspid valve]]:
** Supravalvular obstruction from congenital diaphragms
** Intracardiac or extracardiac tumors
** [[Thrombosis]] or [[emboli]]
** Large [[endocarditis]] vegetations


==Causes==
==[[Tricuspid stenosis differential diagnosis|Differentiating Tricuspid stenosis from other Diseases]]==
The most common cause of TS is [[rheumatic heart disease]].  Other causes of [[TS]] include [[carcinoid syndrome]], [[congenital]] abnormalities, endocarditis, [[lupus]], and mechanical obstruction by a [[tumor]].<ref name="pmid7720297" /><ref name="pmid19065003">{{cite journal| author=Baumgartner H, Hung J, Bermejo J, Chambers JB, Evangelista A, Griffin BP et al.| title=Echocardiographic assessment of valve stenosis: EAE/ASE recommendations for clinical practice. | journal=Eur J Echocardiogr | year= 2009 | volume= 10 | issue= 1 | pages= 1-25 | pmid=19065003 | doi=10.1093/ejechocard/jen303 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19065003  }} </ref>

==Differential Diagnosis==
The differential diagnosis of [[tricuspid stenosis]] include valvular abnormalities causing a similar clinical presentation, and other causes of systemic venous congestion. The [[heart murmur]] of tricuspid stenosis must be differentiated from that of other valvular diseases. However, it should be noted that tricuspid stenosis often co-exist with other valvular pathologies such as [[tricuspid regurgitation]], [[mitral valve]] and aortic valve abnormalities.<ref name="pmid7720297">{{cite journal| author=Waller BF, Howard J, Fess S| title=Pathology of tricuspid valve stenosis and pure tricuspid regurgitation--Part I. | journal=Clin Cardiol | year= 1995 | volume= 18 | issue= 2 | pages= 97-102 | pmid=7720297 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7720297  }} </ref> Tricuspid stenosis is characterized by a mid diastolic murmur best heard over the left sternal border. It has a rumbling character, a tricuspid opening snap with wide splitting of S1.  The differential diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis includes:
* [[Aortic regurgitation]]: The diastolic murmur of [[aortic regurgitation]] decreases with respiration, which is in contrast to that of [[tricuspid stenosis]].
* [[Mitral regurgitation]]: The murmur of [[mitral regurgitation]] is blowing, soft and best heard at the apex.
* [[Mitral stenosis]]: The murmur of [[mitral stenosis]] is mid-diastolic, rumbling, and best heard after the opening snap.
* [[Tricuspid regurgitation]]: The murmur of [[tricuspid regurgitation]] is blowing, holosystolic, and  best heard over the fourth intercostal area at the left sternal border.
 
Tricuspid stenosis should also be differentiated from diseases causing a similar clinical presentation,such as:
* [[Tricuspid atresia (patient information)|Tricuspid atresia]]
* [[Pericarditis (patient information)|Constrictive pericarditis]]
* [[Restrictive cardiomyopathy]]
* [[Atrial myxoma]]
 
==Epidemiology and Demographics==
TS is the least common valvular disease. TS is rarely an isolated disease, it is mostly associated with mitral and/or aortic valve abnormalities with/without concomitant [[tricuspid regurgitation]].
 
==== Prevalence ====
A prospective study of the echocardiographic profile of tricuspid valve disease in 788 patients with rheumatic heart disease in India was done. 9% of the patients had tricuspid valve disease and half of these patients with tricuspid valve disease had tricuspid stenosis with/without tricuspid regurgitation.<ref name="pmid10636636">{{cite journal| author=Goswami KC, Rao MB, Dev V, Shrivastava S| title=Juvenile TS and rheumatic tricuspid valve disease: an echocardiographic study. | journal=Int J Cardiol | year= 1999 | volume= 72 | issue= 1 | pages= 83-6 | pmid=10636636 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=10636636  }} </ref>  The prevalence of TS is lower in developed countries compared to the developing countries due to the low prevalence of [[rheumatic heart disease]].
 
==== Gender ====
Most patients with rheumatic tricuspid stenosis are young women with mitral and aortic valve disease.<ref name="pmid9665226" />
 
==Risk Factors==
One of the most recognized risk factors for TS is [[rheumatic fever]].<ref name="pmidPMID: 18692660">{{cite journal| author=Bernal JM, Pontón A, Diaz B, Llorca J, García I, Sarralde A et al.| title=Surgery for rheumatic tricuspid valve disease: a 30-year experience. | journal=J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg | year= 2008 | volume= 136 | issue= 2 | pages= 476-81 | pmid=PMID: 18692660 | doi=10.1016/j.jtcvs.2008.02.065 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18692660  }} </ref>
 
==Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis==
 
==== Natural history ====

Tricuspid stenosis often co-exists with [[mitral stenosis]], thus depending on the severity of mitral valve pathology, symptoms differ. The diagnosis of TS may also be missed when they coexist. Patients can lay flat without any symptoms in the absence of serious mitral valve pathology and thus, not present with any signs of [[dyspnea]].  Characteristic findings of TS include an opening snap and a low to medium pitch diastolic rumbling murmur that is localized to the lower left sternal border (fourth intercostal space) with inspiratory accentuation.<ref name="pmidPMID: 18222317">{{cite journal| author=Shah PM, Raney AA| title=Tricuspid valve disease. | journal=Curr Probl Cardiol | year= 2008 | volume= 33 | issue= 2 | pages= 47-84 | pmid=PMID: 18222317 | doi=10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2007.10.004 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18222317  }} </ref>
 
===Echocardiogram===
[[Transthoracic echocardiography]] ([[TTE]]) should be performed among patients with suspected TS to confirm the diagnosis, determine the etiology, and establish the baseline severity. TTE commonly reveals findings associated with other valvular diseases, such as [[tricuspid regurgitation]] and/or [[mitral stenosis]].  TS is mainly characterized by an elevated transvalvular gradient.<ref name="pmid19065003">{{cite journal| author=Baumgartner H, Hung J, Bermejo J, Chambers JB, Evangelista A, Griffin BP et al.| title=Echocardiographic assessment of valve stenosis: EAE/ASE recommendations for clinical practice. | journal=Eur J Echocardiogr | year= 2009 | volume= 10 | issue= 1 | pages= 1-25 | pmid=19065003 | doi=10.1093/ejechocard/jen303 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19065003  }} </ref> [[TTE]] helps in the determination of the anatomic and hemodynamic characteristics of the [[tricuspid valve]]. TTE allows the evaluation of the following:<ref name="pmid19065003">{{cite journal| author=Baumgartner H, Hung J, Bermejo J, Chambers JB, Evangelista A, Griffin BP et al.| title=Echocardiographic assessment of valve stenosis: EAE/ASE recommendations for clinical practice. | journal=Eur J Echocardiogr | year= 2009 | volume= 10 | issue= 1 | pages= 1-25 | pmid=19065003 | doi=10.1093/ejechocard/jen303 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19065003  }} </ref>
* [[Tricuspid valve]] thickening and calcification
* Chordal thickening and calcification
* Decreased mobility
* Immobility of the leaflets (suggestive of [[carcinoid syndrome]])
* [[Tumor]]s or [[metastatic lesions]]
* Valvular  vegetations (suggestive of [[infective endocarditis]])
* Right atrial ball valve [[thrombus]]
 
[[Doppler echocardiography]] is useful to assess the severity of TS through the evaluation of the transvalvular gradient. TS is mainly characterized by an elevated transvalvular gradient.<ref name="pmid19065003">{{cite journal| author=Baumgartner H, Hung J, Bermejo J, Chambers JB, Evangelista A, Griffin BP et al.| title=Echocardiographic assessment of valve stenosis: EAE/ASE recommendations for clinical practice. | journal=Eur J Echocardiogr | year= 2009 | volume= 10 | issue= 1 | pages= 1-25 | pmid=19065003 | doi=10.1093/ejechocard/jen303 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19065003  }} </ref>. The assessment of the [[tricuspid valve]] area is limited by the common association of TS with [[tricuspid regurgitation]]. The coexistence of tricuspid regurgitation causes the underestimation of the tricuspid valvular area.  A tricuspid valve area  < 1.0 cm<sup>2</sup> is associated with increased severity of the TS.<ref name="pmid19065003" />
=== Findings Associated with Increased Severity===
TTE findings that are associated with increased severity of tricuspid stenosis include:<ref name="pmid19065003">{{cite journal| author=Baumgartner H, Hung J, Bermejo J, Chambers JB, Evangelista A, Griffin BP et al.| title=Echocardiographic assessment of valve stenosis: EAE/ASE recommendations for clinical practice. | journal=Eur J Echocardiogr | year= 2009 | volume= 10 | issue= 1 | pages= 1-25 | pmid=19065003 | doi=10.1093/ejechocard/jen303 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19065003  }} </ref>

===Electrocardiogram===
The [[electrocardiogram]] of patients with TS can demonstrate a sinus rhythm with or without right atrial hypertrophy.<ref name="pmid15786615">{{cite journal| author=Diaof M, Ba SA, Kane A, Sarr M, Diop IB, Diouf SM| title=[Tricuspid valve stenosis.

EKG findings suggestive of coexisting mitral valve disease can also be seen.
 
 
===Chest X ray===
The chest X-ray in a patient with [[tricuspid stenosis]] may show right atrial enlargement. The heart size can range from a normal-sized heart to [[cardiomegaly]], with additional findings suggestive of coexisting valvular pathology such as [[mitral stenosis]].
 
 
===Cardiac MRI===
While echocardiography remains the diagnostic imaging modality of choice, [[cardiac MRI]] is useful to evaluate tricuspid stenosis when the results of the [[echocardiography]] are insufficient.

{{cquote|
CMR may be used for assessing individuals with valvular heart disease in which evaluation of valvular stenosis, regurgitation, para- or perivalvular masses, perivalvular complications of infectious processes, or prosthetic valve disease are needed. CMR may be useful in identifying serial changes in LV volumes or mass in patients with valvular dysfunction.

===Cardiac Catheterization===
While [[echocardiography]] remains the diagnostic imaging modality of choice, [[cardiac catheterization]] is useful to evaluate tricuspid stenosis when the results of the non-invasive testing are insufficient, particularly among patients who are being evaluated for other conditions such as [[mitral stenosis]] and [[pulmonary hypertension]].<ref name="pmid24603191">{{cite journal| author=Nishimura RA, Otto CM, Bonow RO, Carabello BA, Erwin JP, Guyton RA et al.| title=2014 AHA/ACC guideline for the management of patients with valvular heart disease: a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines. | journal=J Am Coll Cardiol | year= 2014 | volume= 63 | issue= 22 | pages= e57-185 | pmid=24603191 | doi=10.1016/j.jacc.2014.02.536 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=24603191  }} </ref>  In the older pre-surgery population, [[cardiac catheterization]] may be necessary in order to assess concomitant artery disease. 
 
Catheterization of the right heart is useful for the evaluation of:
* The gradient across the [[tricuspid valve]]
* Associated congenital defects
Catheterization of the left heart is useful for the assessment of hemodynamic changes related to the [[aortic valve|aortic]] and [[mitral valve]]s in patients with [[rheumatic heart disease]].
