Presentation
On Admission POA Help "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery, are [icd10data.com]
A right ventricular myopathy with varying degrees of failure of tricuspid valve delamination is present in all cases. Consequently, tricuspid valve morphology is highly variable and complex. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
Stenosis - when the valve doesn't open enough and blocks blood flow Valve problems can be present at birth or caused by infections, heart attacks, or heart disease or damage. [icdlist.com]
A typical pansystolic murmur of tricuspid insufficiency may be present, but the patient may have other nonspecific murmur. [10], [11] Auscultation may vary if other associated cardiac malformation is present. [jcecho.org]
Tricuspid atresia: complete absence of the tricuspid valve; an ASD must be present to maintain blood flow. [patient.info]
Treatment
Many children with congenital heart defects don't need treatment, but others do. Treatment can include medicines, catheter procedures, surgery, and heart transplants. [icdlist.com]
Treatment Reimplantation of coronary arteries Aortocoronary bypass [amboss.com]
If signs and symptoms become troublesome, or if the heart is enlarging or becoming weaker, treatment for Ebstein’s anomaly may be necessary. Treatment options include medications and surgery. [chd-uk.co.uk]
In all cases of moderate or severe TR, treatment of any underlying cause, including medical treatment of pulmonary hypertension as per guidelines, is indicated. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Much research is being conducted both into the cause and the treatment of congenital heart defects. Many types of congenital heart defects are repairable. [americanpregnancy.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis: Cardiac failure is never seen in fetal life as well as postnatally. [sonoworld.com]
Treatment and prognosis As the anomaly is of variable severity, so is the prognosis. Severity is related to the amount of RVOT dysfunction and tricuspid regurgitation. Sudden death from arrhythmia may occur. [radiopaedia.org]
As a result, prognosis is improved from earlier diagnosis. [escardio.org]
Prognosis Severe TR of any cause generally has a poor prognosis long term due to RV dysfunction and/or systemic venous congestion. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for children with congenital heart disease has improved dramatically over the last few decades. [patient.info]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
When significant TI accompanies left-sided heart disease or pulmonary hypertension of other etiology, the natural history is determined by the primary disease. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Etiology: The etiology of heart defects is heterogeneous and probably depends on the interplay of multiple genetic and environmental factors, including maternal diabetes mellitus or collagen disease, exposure to drugs such as lithium, and viral infections [sonoworld.com]

Epidemiology The reported total birth prevalence of congenital heart disease in Europe is 8.2 per thousand live births which is higher than reported birth prevalence in the USA (6.9 per thousand live births). [patient.info]
Epidemiology This rare heart condition accounts for only 1% of congenital heart defects but its impact is significant, especially to those directly affected. About 10% of cases are associated with chronic maternal lithium use. [chd-uk.co.uk]
Epidemiology Pathological TR is more prevalent in women and in those with a past history of myocardial infarction and heart failure. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Prevention
Endocarditis Prevention Antibiotics to prevent endocarditis are needed before certain dental procedures. See the section on Endocarditis for more information. [heart.org]
Can congenital heart defects be prevented? Most congenital heart defects cannot be prevented. A woman can do some things to reduce the risk of congenital heart defects though. [americanpregnancy.org]
Prevention Although many forms of congenital heart disease are not currently preventable, the avoidance of known risk factors such as drugs and alcohol during pregnancy will help to reduce the risk. [patient.info]
While they can't be prevented, many treatments are available for the defects and related health problems. [kidshealth.org]
