What does tricuspid valve insufficiency lead to?

Tricuspid valve insufficiency may lead to abdominal effusion, jugular vein varices, lower limb edema, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrhythmia and other consequences. 1. Abdominal fluid collection: Tricuspid valve insufficiency may lead to right heart failure, the lower half of the body blood reflux is blocked, when the blood infiltration to the patient’s abdominal cavity, there will be abdominal fluid collection, a large amount of abdominal fluid elevate the diaphragm, compression of the intestinal tract, which may lead to respiratory difficulties, fatigue, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms. 2. Jugular vein varicose: because of tricuspid valve insufficiency, the right ventricle contraction blood reflux into the right atrium, the right atrium volume overload, will directly lead to patients with right heart reflux is impeded, at this time the patient will appear jugular vein varicose performance, when the patient is in the lying state or semi-lying state, jugular vein vasculature varicose is particularly obvious. 3. Lower extremity edema, pulmonary embolism: tricuspid valve insufficiency will lead to patients with venous return obstruction, especially in the lower limbs of the venous return obstruction is more obvious, so tricuspid valve insufficiency, the patient will be due to the lower limb venous return is impeded, the emergence of lower limb edema. At the same time, because of the stagnation of blood in the lower limbs, it is easy to form venous thrombosis in the lower limbs, and the dislodgement of thrombus can induce pulmonary embolism. 4. Arrhythmia: Because of the successive expansion of the right atrium and right ventricle, the intracardiac conduction system may be affected accordingly, thus inducing arrhythmia. It is recommended that patients with tricuspid valve insufficiency should seek timely medical treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
