Tricuspid Regurgitation

Tricuspid regurgitation is a condition characterized by the backward flow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium during systole due to an incompetent tricuspid valve. This regurgitation often results from structural abnormalities of the valve apparatus, including issues with the valve leaflets, annulus, or papillary muscles. Contributing factors may include valve degeneration, annular dilation, or damage from conditions such as pulmonary hypertension or infective endocarditis. The condition can lead to symptoms such as right-sided heart failure, including edema and ascites, and requires careful evaluation to determine its severity and impact on cardiac function. The course provides participants with a thorough understanding of the evaluation and management strategies for tricuspid regurgitation. Learners gain insights into the structural components of the tricuspid valve and how their dysfunction contributes to the condition. Practical knowledge is imparted on diagnostic techniques, including echocardiography and advanced imaging modalities, as well as treatment protocols ranging from medical management to surgical interventions. The course emphasizes the importance of an interprofessional approach, highlighting how collaboration among congenital heart surgeons, cardiologists, and imaging specialists enhances patient care.
