I'm really worried because my wife is 9 months pregnant and her recent test results showed something about tricuspid TR being mild to moderate and that her RA and RV are dilated. Does this indicate a serious problem? We're really not sure what to make of this and would appreciate any advice you might have.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and dilated right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV) can be concerning during pregnancy, but the severity and management depend on various factors. It is important to follow up with your obstetrician and a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help with the heart condition. Your wife may be prescribed a medication like furosemide to reduce fluid retention and workload on the heart. The dosage will depend on her specific condition and should be determined by her healthcare provider. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the well-being of both your wife and the baby.
