How to treat tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation
Treatment methods for tricuspid and mitral regurgitation include general management, drug therapy, and surgical treatment, along with proper nursing care and regular follow-up visits to the hospital. Specific details are as follows:
1. General Management
For patients with tricuspid or mitral regurgitation who have no obvious symptoms, special treatment may not be necessary. However, regular follow-up evaluations are important to monitor disease progression. Patients should focus on improving their quality of life, getting adequate rest, and avoiding strenuous physical activities.
2. Drug Therapy
For patients with mitral regurgitation, medications such as metoprolol succinate extended-release tablets, spironolactone tablets, and enteric-coated aspirin tablets may be prescribed under a physician's guidance to alleviate symptoms such as exertional dyspnea and shortness of breath. For patients with tricuspid regurgitation, medications such as sildenafil citrate tablets, captopril tablets, and enalapril maleate tablets may be used as directed by a doctor to control symptom progression at an early stage.
3. Surgical Treatment
If mitral regurgitation is severe and medication proves ineffective, surgical interventions such as mitral valve repair or valve replacement may be performed under medical advice. For severe cases of tricuspid regurgitation, valve repair or replacement surgery can also be conducted under a doctor's guidance, followed by regular postoperative follow-up examinations.
In addition to standardized treatments, it is essential to maintain a good quality of life during the course of the illness and avoid intense physical activity to prevent increased cardiac load and adverse effects on recovery.
