Description

This detailed 3D image illustrates the hallmark features of tricuspid regurgitation, including thickened valve leaflets and poor coaptation. The anatomical distortion allows blood to leak backward from the right ventricle into the right atrium during systole, leading to volume overload and eventual right-sided heart dysfunction. This visualization accurately visualizes the incomplete leaflet closure, helping clinicians, students, and educators observe the mechanical implications of regurgitation. It is a valuable tool for learning, teaching, and explaining the pathophysiology of tricuspid valve disease in clinical and academic settings.
