Caring Treatment for Tricuspid Valve Disease in Central California
Your heart is a central part of your body's powerhouse and requires specialized care. A Dignity Health Central California cardiologist monitors your heart to protect it from a variety of cardiovascular conditions, including tricuspid valve disease.
When a heart valve doesn’t shut completely, blood will travel backwards where it is not supposed to flow. When this occurs, you can develop a cardiac condition, such as mitral valve disease, pulmonary valve disease, or tricuspid valve disease.
Your Dignity Health Central California heart doctor helps you understand tricuspid valve disease and can help you heal and restore your well-being. Find a Doctor to receive personal care for tricuspid valve disease in Central California.
Identifying Tricuspid Valve Disease Symptoms at Dignity Health Central California
Many times you won’t have symptoms or know you have tricuspid valve disease. Your Dignity Health Central California cardiologist can diagnose your heart valve condition by listening to your heartbeat with a stethoscope. A whooshing or abnormal sound may indicate this heart condition.
Symptoms of advanced tricuspid valve disease can include:
- Neck veins that pulse during rest
- Less urine flow because of retained fluid in your body
- Swelling in your legs or feet
- Feeling tired for no reason
