What is moderate tricuspid regurgitation?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
L leaky heart valve.: The tricuspid valve controls blood from the upper right chamber to the lower right chamber of your heart. It's supposed to be a one-way flow, but when your right ventricle (the lower chamber) contracts, some blood is being forced back upwards. Moderate means there is significant blood flow backwards, but it isn't yet severe. This needs to be followed by your cardiologist.

Leaking valve: The tricuspid valve lies between the right atrium and right ventricle. When this valve leaks some of the blood flow leaks back into the right atrium. It can be caused by high blood pressure in the lungs, failure of right ventricle or mechanical issues of the valve. A moderate regurge is usually treated medically with diuretics. Tricuspid repair is usually combined with other heart surgery.
