Overview

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name].

OR

Echocardiography is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis. Findings on an echocardiography diagnostic of tricuspid stenosis include tricuspid peak inflow velocity and degree of thickening of tricuspid valve leaflets.

OR

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name].

• Transthoracic echocardiography is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis.

• The following result of echocardiography is confirmatory of tricuspid stenosis:
  • The degree of thickening of tricuspid valve leaflets
  • Calcification of tricuspid valve leaflets
  • Limited leaflet mobility of tricuspid valve leaflets
  • Reduced separation of the tricuspid valve leaflet tips
  • Diastolic doming of the tricuspid valve
  • Echocardiography gives the degree of fusion of the commissures and chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve

• [Finding 1]
• [Finding 2]
• [Finding 3]

OR

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:

• [Complication 1]
• [Complication 2]
• [Complication 3]
