For the hearing impaired members of our community, I have provided a written transcript of this video below.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Hi everybody, it\u2019s Adam with heartvalvesurgery.com. We are here at the Heart Valve Summit. I\u2019m thrilled to be joined by Dr. David Adams who is one of the course directors of this program. He\u2019s also the cardiac surgeon and chief at Mount Sinai in New York. Dr. Adams, thanks for being with us.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. David Adams: Hi Adam, good to see you again.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: As you know, we\u2019re answering the patient questions that were submitted by you at our Facebook page. This is a great question Dr. Adams that came in from George Smith. He writes: Adam, how does mitral regurgitation cause tricuspid regurgitation?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. David Adams: That\u2019s actually an important question, Adam. The right ventricle that \u2013 we have rear valves in our heart. The tricuspid valve and the mitral valve are both atrioventricular valves \u2013 you have two atria and two ventricles. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs. The left ventricle pumps blood to our body. The mitral valve loses its seal and starts to leak, that raises \u2013 that turns the blood backwards. It raises the pressure in the pulmonary arteries that puts more pressure on the right ventricle and the right ventricle can start to dilate. Actually, it\u2019s the free wall of the right ventricle that changes and that starts to pull open the tricuspid valve.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been well recognized for many years mitral valve disease can stop the flow of blood and it reverses. That puts pressure on the right side and that starts to increase \u2013 can increase dysfunction in the tricuspid valve. The reason I say that\u2019s an important problem is because there is a lot of new data, including a very important paper that we\u2019ve published from our own experience in patients in the Journal of American College of Cardiology, describing a treatment for tricuspid regurgitation \u2013 prophylaxis against it at the time of mitral surgery. That\u2019s why many patients today that undergo mitral valve repair for prolapse also undergo a tricuspid valve repair, either to correct existing tricuspid irritation or to try and prevent it in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Great. I hope that helped you learn more about tricuspid regurgitation, the treatment, simultaneous mitral valve disease and tricuspid valve disease. Dr. Adams, as always, I have to extend an extraordinary thanks to you and your entire team for the work that you\u2019re doing. On behalf of all of our members in our community thank you for transforming the education of our community and helping patients get the best possible outcomes that they can. Thanks for all your incredible support.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. David Adams: Thanks Adam, I appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20097,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mitral-regurgitation"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/heart-surgery-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
