22
Q

TR is caused by 2 mechanisms:

A
  1. secondary to right heart chamber abnormalities (RAE, RVE, RV infarction)
  2. actual tricuspid valve disease
23
Q

Abnormal right heart - right atrial enlargement (2)

A
  1. dilation of tricuspid valve annulus
  2. prevents complete leaflet closure
24
Q

Abnormal right heart - right ventricular enlargement (2)

A
  1. associated with CONDITIONS that cause RV volume / pressure overload such as
    - aortic valve disease
    - mitral valve disease: especially MV stenosis because it causes left sided pressure increase resulting in pulmonary hypertension
25
Q

TR Causes (4)

A
  1. pacer wire in the right heart
  2. cardiac transplant
  3. tricuspid valve disease
  4. Right ventricle infarction
26

tricuspid regurgitation caused by right ventricle dilatation, caused by (2)

A
  1. congenital heart disease such as partial anomalous venous return
  2. RVVO which alters TV apparatus
27
Q

tricuspid regurgitation caused by right ventricle infarction (1)

A
  1. involves posterior papillary muscle - attaches to posterior and septal leaflets of TV, affecting 2 leaflets
28
Q

tricuspid valve disease (7)

A
  1. rheumatic tricuspid valve disease
  2. tv prolapse
  3. endocarditis
  4. ruptured papillary muscles or chordae
  5. carcinoid heart disease
  6. trauma
  7. congenital defects of TV - TV dysplasia or Ebstein’s anomaly
29
Q

Ebstein’s Anomaly is

A

displacement of the attachment of the TV leaflets toward the apex

30
Q

Physical findings with tricuspid regurgitation (4)

A
  1. jugular venous distention with prominent v wave
  2. jaundice
  3. thrill (lower left sternal border)
  4. hyper dynamic RV impulse along left sternal border
31
Q

color assessment of tricuspid regurg

A

1/3 into RA = mild TR (1+)
2/3 into RA = moderate TR (2+)
fills RA = severe TR (3+)
all the way to back wall (4+)

**assessment is the ratio of RA area to the jet area
hepatic vein and IVC flow
- flows into RA during systole
- pressure falls with atrial relaxation

32
Q

Color Doppler shows what characteristics in severe TR?

A
  1. retrograde flow in hepatic veins and IVC
  2. systolic flow reversal
33
Q

TR severity… what are the reasons for determining tricuspid regurg severity? (2)

A
  1. deciding to repair or replace TV in patients having other cardiac surgeries
  2. determining systolic pulmonary pressures (THE MOST COMMON REASON)
34
Q

SPAP = RSVP as long as

A

NO STENOSIS on PV

(SPAP is systolic PA pressures)
(RVSP is right ventricular systolic pressure)

35
Q

For pressure gradients at TV (2)

A
  1. Use CW in presence of high velocities or aliasing
  2. calculate pressure using Bernoulli equation (4V2)
36
Q

SPAP or RVSP values (4)

A
  1. add RA pressure (which is equal to jugular venous pressure) to peak TR gradient
  2. normal RA pressures range from 10-14 mmHg
37
Q

What is the caval index?

A

the maximum diameter - minimum diameter DIVIDED BY maximum diameter = percent of change
**It is how much the IVC collapses

38
Q

alternate calculation method for systolic PA pressure

A

(TV PG x 25% + TR gradient)

39
Q

TV prolapse (3)

A
  1. buckles into RA
  2. common to see with MVP
