History & Symptoms
The onset of symptoms in the patient with tricuspid stenosis is often gradual and may be associated with some or all of the following symptoms:
- Due to limited cardiac output, patients with tricuspid stenosis may experience fatigue
- Dyspnea may be present if there is associated mitral valve
- Systemic venous congestion may lead to abdominal discomfort due to hepatomegaly. The onset may be rapid if atrial fibrillation or flutter develops.
- Abdominal swelling
- A fluttering discomfort or complaints about prominent pulsations in the neck may be present
- Leg and ankle swelling (pedal edema)
- When simultaneously occurring with mitral stenosis, the decline in cardiac output to the pulmonary bed may diminish the dyspnea, hemoptysis ,and orthopnea associated with mitral stenosis.
