In a retrospective ultrasonographic study, 32 cases of acquired disease of the tricuspid valve were detected amongst 7000 consecutive patients. Patients with congenital heart disease (except when the seat of an acquired disease) and with prosthetic heart valves, were excluded. There were twenty-one cases of rheumatic disease, all having additional involvement of the mitral valve. Prolapse (5 patients), bacterial endocarditis (2 patients), rupture of papillary muscle (1 patient), cardiac tumours (2 patients) and carcinoid heart disease (1 patient) were also identified. Acquired disease of the tricuspid valve is infrequently encountered during routine cross-sectional echocardiography but its recognition is clinically important.
在一项回顾性超声研究中，在7000例连续患者中检测到32例三尖瓣后天性疾病。患有先天性心脏病（除非是后天性疾病的发病部位）和人工心脏瓣膜的患者被排除在外。有21例风湿性疾病，均伴有二尖瓣的额外受累。还发现了5例脱垂、2例细菌性心内膜炎、1例乳头肌破裂、2例心脏肿瘤和1例类癌性心脏病。三尖瓣后天性疾病在常规横断面超声心动图检查中很少遇到，但其识别在临床上很重要。
