How To Use tricuspid valve In A Sentence

• Echocardiography found typical features of early recipient twin cardiomyopathy, with thickening and decreased contractility of the wall of the right ventricle and abnormal function (regurgitation) of the tricuspid valve connecting the right atrium to the right ventricle. Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS)
• The tricuspid valves are placed, like gate-keepers, at the entrance into the ventricles from the venae cavae and pulmonary veins, lest the blood when most forcibly impelled should flow back. On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals
• The endocardial cushions form the lower atrial septum, the upper ventricular septum, the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve and the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve.

• At the time of her evaluation for twin-twin transfusion with us, the recipient twin was found to have severe biventricular cardiac dysfunction, with moderate to severe leakage (regurgitation) across both mitral and tricuspid valves, severe pulmonic insufficiency with no forward flow across the pulmonary valve and reverse flow seen within the pulmonary artery. Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS)
• Ventricular contraction pushes up the tricuspid valve and raises pressure in the right atrium to a slight degree.
• Tricuspid valve regurgitation occurs when the valve does not close completely and blood leaks back into the right atrium of the heart. EurekAlert! - Breaking News
