Complete Differential Diagnosis of Underlying Causes
- Thrombus on a pacemaker (either temporary or permanent) wire
- Rheumatic fever: Scarring associated with the disease will increase the valve's susceptibility to hardening
- Ebstein's anomaly
- Endomyocardial fibrosis
- Lupus erythematosus
- Endocarditis
- Congenital tricuspid atresia: A malformation of the tricuspid valve present at birth
- Right atrial tumor: Abnormal growth in the right atrium near the tricuspid valve, which can block the opening of the valve
- Carcinoid syndrome: Change in tissue characteristics of the cells effects the tricuspid valve
