Hello,

The tricuspid insufficiency means the tricuspid valve is not functioning normally as it has to be and many parameters are there that all need to be correlated with clinical condition some time it could be nonspecific if not related with any clinical condition or patient does not have any valvular symptoms, second what kind of insufficiency is there is a matter of concern, in short, if you are not valvular patient, then it is nothing to worry.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
