Table 1 Comparison of patients with rheumatic heart disease with tricuspid valve stenosis, without tricuspid valve stenosis, and controls.
| Rheumatic HD TV with stenosis (n = 5) | Rheumatic HD TV without stenosis (n = 8) | Controls (n = 13) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Male sex, n (%) | 4 (80) | 5 (63) | 8 (62) |
| Age (years) | 33 (7) | 35 (4) | 31 (6) |
| TV‐LS2D (mm) | 11.8 (2.9) | 12 (4.8) | 15 (3.3) |
| TVA3D (mm2) | 216 (61)* | 381 (92) | 518 (207) |
| 3D commissural width (mm) | 2.6 (0.2)* | 4.1 (0.5) | 5.9 (1.6) |
2D, two dimensional; 3D, three dimensional; HD, heart disease; LS, leaflet separation; TV, tricuspid valve; TVA, tricuspid valve area.
Values are represented as mean (SD) unless otherwise specified.
*p<0.005 versus patients with rheumatic HD without significant TV involvement and p<0.001 versus controls.
