Abstract
Echocardiographic, phonocardiographic, and pulse tracing recordings demonstrated clinically unsuspected tricuspid stenosis in a 53‐year‐old man with a prosthetic mitral valve and signs of right heart failure. Physiologic correlates of the patient's heart sounds and diastolic murmur were studied by simultaneous M‐mode echocar‐diograms and phonocardiograms. Cardiac catheterization and subsequent valve surgery confirmed the presence of tricuspid stenosis. It is important to consider the diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis in all patients with a history of rheumatic mitral valve disease who develop findings suggestive of right ventricular failure.
