Abstract

This chapter provides detail description of echocardiographic examination of the tricuspid valve. The anatomy of tricuspid valve, M-mode echocardiography, two-dimensional transthoracic examination, two-dimensional transesophageal examination, three-dimensional examination, tricuspid regurgitation, tricuspid stenosis, carcinoid heart disease, Loeffler’s syndrome, Tricuspid valve prolapse, flail tricuspid valve, carcinoid heart disease, diet drug-induced valvulopathy, tricuspid valve (TV) endocarditis, prosthetic valves, TV tumors, congenital abnormalities of the TV, are described in detail. The chapter has 62 well illustrated diagrams and images. Three tables are included to highlight echocardiography criteria for assessment of tricuspid regurgitation severity, tricuspid stenosis grading scales, and findings indicative of hemodynamically significant tricuspid stenosis. 48 references are included at the end of the chapter to facilitate further reading.
