  • Title: [Hemodynamic interplay between tricuspid valve and right ventricle].
    Author: Edel C, Erbel R, Budde T.
    Journal: Herz; 2017 Nov; 42(7):622-628. PubMed ID: 28921000.
    Abstract:
    The tricuspid valve and the right ventricle are hemodynamically closely related. Pathological changes of the valve or of the ventricle itself and also various diseases beyond that can result in a downward spiral of mutual interference, which is of prognostic importance for the patient. The development of a functional tricuspid regurgitation is of great importance. Especially with the help of 3D-echocardiography, more and more changes and mechanisms have been identified that are crucial in this process. This article provides a review of the relationship between the tricuspid valve and the right ventricle emphasizing the current knowledge of the causes, the pathophysiological concepts, the underlying structural changes and the therapeutic approaches based on this.
