Tricuspid regurgitation
Alternative names:
tricuspid insufficiency
Prevention:
Discuss any history of heart valve disease or any family history of congenital heart diseases before treatment by a health care provider or dentist. Any dental work, including cleaning, and any invasive procedure can introduce bacteria into the bloodstream. This bacteria can infect a weakened valve causing endocarditis.
Obtain prompt treatment for conditions that may cause valve disease. Treat strep infections promptly to prevent rheumatic fever. Causes of right heart failure should be prevented.
