Excerpt

Tricuspid stenosis is a rare valvular abnormality characterized by tricuspid valve narrowing. This condition increases the pressure gradient between the right atrium and ventricle, causing systemic congestion and reduced right ventricular output. Isolated tricuspid stenosis is uncommon. This condition typically occurs along with other valvular abnormalities, most frequently mitral valve pathology, as a complication of rheumatic heart disease.
