Is mitral and tricuspid valve insufficiency normal

Tricuspid valve insufficiency is a heart disease that is usually abnormal.

The tricuspid valve is one of the two valves in the heart, located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It prevents blood from flowing back. When the tricuspid valve fails to close completely, it causes blood to flow back, which affects heart function. Mild tricuspid valve insufficiency may not cause obvious symptoms, but severe cases may cause uncomfortable symptoms such as breathing difficulties, chest tightness, and palpitations. The disease is usually related to factors such as age, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and heart surgery.

Mild cases can be relieved by improving lifestyle, controlling blood pressure, and heart rate. Severe cases may require surgery, such as valve repair or replacement surgery.
