Abstract
Tricuspid valve disease may result from primary leaflet involvement, as occurs with rheumatic fever or infective endocarditis, or from involvement of right ventricular myocardium or papillary muscles. As is the case with the mitral valve, it is important to consider the entire valvular apparatus. Thus, tricuspid valve insufficiency may result from disease of the right ventricular papillary muscles, the chordae tendineae, the tricuspid valve substance, or from disease of the tricuspid annulus.
