Mitral regurgitation (MR) is backward leakage of blood from the heart’s left ventricle to the left atrium. Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is backward leakage of blood from the right ventricle to the ...

Tricuspid regurgitation is a condition divided into four stages based on several factors. Treatment for the condition varies based on the stage and symptoms and may include watchful waiting or, in ...

Heart valves allow blood to flow one way and prevent it from flowing in the wrong direction. The tricuspid valve controls blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle. The bicuspid or ...

A new study into the causes of leakage in one of the heart's most complex valve structures could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of the condition. An estimated 1.6 million Americans suffer ...

Tricuspid regurgitation is common in patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation. However, the evidence base is insufficient to inform a decision about whether to perform tricuspid-valve ...

The right coronary artery and the atrioventricular node are adjacent to the annulus and are important anatomical considerations for surgical or transcatheter interventions. The right coronary artery ...
