Tricuspid valve prolapse.

J S Raichlen, A N Brest

    Cardiovascular Clinics
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Tricuspid valve prolapse, often linked to mitral valve prolapse, is found in older patients with more neurological symptoms and arrhythmias. It can indicate broader connective tissue issues, warranting further heart valve evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Echocardiography
    • Valvular Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Tricuspid valve prolapse (TVP) is an uncommon echocardiographic finding.
    • It is frequently associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare characteristics of patients with tricuspid valve prolapse versus isolated mitral valve prolapse.
    • To highlight TVP as a potential marker for diffuse connective tissue abnormalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Echocardiographic analysis.
    • Comparative patient data review.

    Main Results:

    • Patients with TVP are older than those with isolated MVP.
    • TVP is associated with increased neurological symptoms, fatigue, weakness, supraventricular arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation), and skeletal deformities.

    Conclusions:

    • Tricuspid valve prolapse may signify more widespread connective tissue disorders.
    • Identification of TVP necessitates a comprehensive echocardiographic assessment for other valvular abnormalities, including prolapse and regurgitation.
