TR Flashcards
What are the etiologies of tricuspid refuse?
Primary valve issues like rheumatic fever (stenosis), -prolapse, endocarditis, carcinoid
-annulus dilation or calcification
- Epstein’s (congenital)
TR causes?
RA dilation and volume overload
What is the murmur associated with tricuspid regurg?
Holosystolic murmur may increase with inspiration
What are 2 physical signs of tricuspid regur?
- jugular vein distention
- Right heart failure symptoms
What are 3 echo signs of TR?
-IVC/ hepatic vein dilated if TR is severe
- RA dilation
-RV dilation with LV septum posteriorly displaced
A RAP pressure of 8mmhg means?
It’s intermediate collapses less than 20%
RAP of pressure of 15mmhg means?
Severe TR. IVC collapses <50%
CVP means? And means?
Central venous pressure. Refers to IVC pressure close to RA.
True or false- systolic turbulence occurs in RA with TR?
True
How do you calculate RVSP? What’s the formula?
You calculate RVSP with the TR Doppler pressure gradient.
TR pressure gradient + estimated RAP
What is the most common valvular problem associated with carcinoids syndrome?
TR
Tr jet pressure + RAP gives you what calculation?
RVSP
