Description

Tricuspid Valve Stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the tricuspid valve, which impedes blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. This can lead to increased pressure in the right atrium and may cause symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, and arrhythmias.

It is important to use the correct term 'Estenosis de la Válvula Tricúspide' in formal medical contexts to avoid ambiguity. Colloquial terms may vary, but sticking to the glossary term is recommended.
