    About this ebook

    "A Handbook of Tricuspid And Pulmonary Valve Disease" contains a detailed description of the diseases of these two valves. A detailed description of Ebstein's Anomaly Of Tricuspid vale is highlight of this book. Etiology, pathogenesis and hemodynamics of diseases of both valves have been dealt in simple and comprehensible manner. Special effort has been made to explain the clinical features (Symptoms and signs) of disease. Probably the clinical features is the forgotten art in the newer text books. However, the author has taken a special interest to include a detailed description of clinical features. The treatment section includes description about the various interventions (catheter based as well as surgical) and it also includes the ACC / AHA guidelines. Like his previous two handbooks (A handbook of Rheumatic Fever and A Handbook of Aortic valve Disease), this book also has extensive description of all aspects of the disease. A small chapter about 'Straight Back Syndrome' has also been included in this book. All in all, the book promises to be a great reference book for Aortic Valve disease and is worth having it on shelf for easy reading. The point wise and concise writing has made this book specially useful for students and exam going students

      The Tricuspid Valve Complex

      The tricuspid valve complex consists of three leaflets, the chordae tendinae, two discrete papillary muscles, the fibrous tricuspid annulus, and the right atrial and right ventricular myocardium.

      Leaflets: There are three sail-like leaflets: anterior, posterior, and septal. All are attached to the tricuspid valve annulus. The anterior leaflet is the largest and is the most anatomically constant of the three, whereas the posterior leaflet is notable for the presence of multiple scallops. The septal leaflet is the smallest and arises medially directly from the tricuspid annulus above the interventricular septum. Because the small septal wall leaflet is fairly fixed, there is little room for movement if the free wall of right ventricular/tricuspid annulus should dilate. Dilation of the tricuspid annulus therefore occurs primarily in its anterior/posterior (mural) aspect, which can result in significant functional TR as a result
