Description

Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency is a condition where the tricuspid valve does not close properly, leading to blood flow issues in the heart. This can result in symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, and irregular heartbeat due to the backflow of blood into the right atrium.

Interpreters may encounter variations such as 'insuficiencia tricúspide' or 'regurgitación tricúspide', which are colloquial or regional terms. It is important to maintain a formal register and use the canonical term 'incompetencia tricúspide' in clinical settings to avoid confusion.
