medicationTricuspid valve repair or replacement
Surgical intervention to reconstruct or replace the damaged valve and chordae apparatus, typically performed when significant regurgitation causes symptoms or cardiac dysfunction.
surgicalActivity modification and sodium restriction
Limiting strenuous physical activity and reducing dietary sodium intake to minimize fluid retention and reduce cardiac workload.
