Dr. Suresh Bhagia is one of the best Tricuspid Valve repair/ replacement surgeon in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The tricuspid valve is one of four valves that regulate blood flow through the heart. The tricuspid valve is the valves that divide the right atrium and ventricle of the heart. These valves keep blood flowing in the right direction through the heart. This valve serves to allow the downward movement of blood from the atrium to the ventricle without backflow. Because the tricuspid valve controls the movement and flow of blood to areas of the body that require it, it is an extremely important part of the heart and overall health.
When the tricuspid valve is not working properly, it can hinder with the appropriate direction of blood flow and force the heart to work harder to supply the required blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. Tricuspid valve disease treatment depends on the sternness of the condition, whether or not the patient is experiencing signs and symptoms, and if the condition is getting worse.
