Help! Where Is My Tricuspid Heart Valve?

The email reads, “Adam - I was just diagnosed with severe tricuspid regurgitation. I feel stupid asking this but where exactly is my tricuspid valve in my heart. The doctor showed me a fake, plastic heart but I can’t remember right now. Please help!”
Don’t worry. I totally understand. Honestly, when I was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and regurgitation I was so shocked I don’t remember much of what my cardiologist told me besides, “You need open heart surgery!” That’s a tough one to forget. 
Anyways, here is a human heart diagram that shows the various valves of the heart - aortic, pulmonary, mitral and the tricuspid.
I hope this helps you better understand where your tricuspid heart valve is. To learn more about the anatomy of the heart and your heart valves, visit the Heart Valve Surgery Learning Center.
Keep on tickin,
Adam
