Rivero-Carvallo Sign in Bioprosthetic Tricuspid Valve Stenosis
In a case with bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis, simultaneous phonocardiogram and Doppler recordings revealed that the louder diastolic rumble in inspiration (Rivero-Carvallo sign) is related to increased tricuspid gradient caused by less prominent decrease of right atrial pressure compared with tha...

| Summary: | In a case with bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis, simultaneous phonocardiogram and Doppler recordings revealed that the louder diastolic rumble in inspiration (Rivero-Carvallo sign) is related to increased tricuspid gradient caused by less prominent decrease of right atrial pressure compared with that of the right ventricle in inspiration caused by tricuspid stenosis.
