what exactly is a trepulsid valve? where is it in the heart and what does it do?
Question:
Answers:
It is indeed the tricuspid valve. It is one of the Atrioventricular valves named so because of the location between the Atria of the heart and the ventricles. The tricuspid valve is the valve between the right atria and the right ventricle. Its job is to prevent blood flow from the right ventricle back into the right atrium, when the right ventricle is contracting. In your case there is some blood making its way backwards into the right atrium, this is not normal. It means that your valve has some degree of incompetence, Likely you have a murmur. If it is not large your doctor may just decide to leave it alone, if it gets worse or it is large now then the only fix is to have a valve replacement. The good news is that the current valve technology is excellent.
