What to do if you have tricuspid regurgitation in a newborn

For newborns, even the slightest mistake can make parents nervous, because the child is the future of the family. Neonatal tricuspid regurgitation is also a common phenomenon, but many parents do not understand it, so it is easy to cause some panic or even misdiagnosis. In order to let parents understand the knowledge, here is an introduction to what to do with neonatal tricuspid regurgitation.

Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation is very common. Be careful not to be nervous. The key is to see the degree and whether the regurgitation causes changes in the heart structure. It is meaningless for a small amount of regurgitation. Don't be nervous. It is recommended to follow up with the cardiology department and perform regular cardiac color Doppler ultrasound examinations to clearly evaluate the heart structure. This small amount of tricuspid regurgitation has no effect on the body's hemodynamics, so it does not require treatment and will not affect the future. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, the baby can have another color Doppler ultrasound examination when he is 1 year old.

If a newborn has mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation or tricuspid regurgitation, it is not very harmful and can be considered normal. No need to worry about it. It may get better through observation for a period of time or through cardiotonic treatment. However, if a newborn has tricuspid regurgitation, it is often combined with other heart malformations, such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, etc. If this is the case, it is necessary to solve the problem of tricuspid regurgitation while dealing with other heart malformations.

After reading the above introduction, parents should not worry. Tricuspid regurgitation in newborns is a normal phenomenon. There is no need to worry too much. As long as the children are taken for regular check-ups and observations, there will be no major problems. Therefore, parents can completely ignore it and do not need to be too nervous. As the children grow up, these symptoms will disappear.
