Overview
The electrocardiogram of patients with tricuspid stenosis can demonstrate a sinus rhythm with or without signs of right atrial hypertrophy.[1] Patients with tricuspid stenosis can experience frequent arrhythmias, particularly atrial flutter and/or atrial fibrillation due to the enlargement of the right atrium.
Electrocardiogram
- Arrhythmias are frequent in this patient population. Because of the enlargement of the right atrium, the presence of atrial flutter and/or fibrillation should not be surprising.
- In sinus rhythm, right atrial enlargement or abnormality (tall P waves on inferior leads) may be noted.
