Tricuspid atresia is an uncommon form of
congenital heart disease.
In a normal body, unoxygenated
blood flows into the
right atrium, then through the
tricuspid valve to the
right ventricle and on to the
lungs.

congenital (present at
birth)
heart defect that occurs when the
tricuspid valve, normally located between the
right atrium and the
right ventricle, does not develop properly during
pregnancy.

cuspid RegurgitationDefinition:
Tri
cuspid regurgitation is a disorder involving backward flow of
blood across the
tricuspid valve which separates the
right ventricle (lower
heart chamber) from the
right atrium (upper
heart chamber).
Full article >>>Tri
cuspid regurgitation occurs when the
tricuspid valve within the
heart fails to close tightly. This causes
blood to flow backward.
