Combined Mitral, Aortic, and Tricuspid Valve Disease

Combined mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valve disease is multivalvular heart disease (usually rheumatic), producing combined left- and right-heart failure. Treatment: medical therapy (diuretics/rate control/afterload reduction); surgical correction addressing the dominant/most-significant lesions (repair/replacement); secondary penicillin prophylaxis; careful perioperative management of combined lesions.

Common Symptoms

Biventricular heart failure; combined murmurs; multichamber enlargement; rheumatic history

Causes and Pathogenesis

Rheumatic inflammation affects multiple valves, producing combined left/right overload.

Treatment

Medical therapy; surgery on dominant lesions; secondary prophylaxis

Preventive Measures

Secondary prophylaxis; monitor valve disease.
