Key result
Application of clinical criteria for tricuspid stenosis enables confident diagnosis in a substantial majority of patients and allows for relatively early recognition of the lesion.
Why the study?
Does the application of specific clinical criteria allow for confident and early diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis?
Does the application of specific clinical criteria allow for confident and early diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis?
Specific clinical criteria can be reliably used to confidently and early diagnose tricuspid stenosis.
Clinical criteria may enable confident early tricuspid stenosis diagnosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Clinical criteria for the recognition of tricuspid stenosis were studied in 13 cases, all personally observed by the authors. The results suggest that application of these criteria not only allows a confident diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis in a substantial majority of cases, but also allows the lesion to be recognized relatively early in its natural history.
