Overview

Tricuspid insufficiency, a valvular heart disease also called Tricuspid regurgitation, refers to the failure of the heart's tricuspid valve to close properly during systole. As a result, with each heart beat, a portion of the blood is pumped out from the right side of the heart backwards in the opposite direction into the right atrium rather than forwards into the right ventricle.
