Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation Velocity

MedGen UID:
1613580
•Concept ID:
C4527152
•
Sign or Symptom
Synonyms: Tricuspid Regurgitant Jet Velocity; Tricuspid Regurgitation Jet Velocity; Tricuspid Regurgitation Velocity; TRJV; TRV

Definition

A measurement of the backward flow of blood through the tricuspid valve during right ventricle contraction. It correlates with pulmonary artery systolic pressure at rest and with exercise. A tricuspid regurgitation velocity greater than or equal to 2.5 m/sec on echocardiography is a surrogate marker for pulmonary hypertension in adults with sickle cell disease. [from NCI]
