Physiological assessment protocol
Regular hemodynamic assessment including right heart catheterization when needed to evaluate pressure gradients and physiological consequences of valve dysfunction.
Treatment of underlying pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary vasodilators and targeted therapies when pulmonary hypertension contributes to tricuspid physiology abnormalities. Addresses root cause of secondary tricuspid disease.
Additional treatment options
Tricuspid valve intervention for physiological correction
Surgical or transcatheter intervention aimed at restoring normal tricuspid valve hemodynamics and reducing regurgitation or stenosis as appropriate.
surgicalHeart failure dietary management
Comprehensive dietary approach including sodium restriction, fluid management, and adequate protein to support cardiac function and prevent volume overload.
dietaryChronic illness psychological support
Counseling and support services for patients managing chronic tricuspid valve disease, addressing anxiety, depression, and adjustment to lifestyle limitations.
