Abstract

Doppler echocardiography appears to provide an accurate method for assessment of valve stenosis.¹ Most studies in this area have been performed in patients with aortic,² mitral³ or pulmonic valve stenosis.⁴ Although qualitative assessment of tricuspid stenosis (TS) is possible with Doppler echocardiography,⁵ there is no information about its correlation with pressure gradients measured directly. This report presents Doppler echocardiographic hemodynamic correlation in 2 patients with obstruction to tricuspid flow, 1 with rheumatic heart disease and 1 with severe stenosis across a prosthesis in the tricuspid valve position.
