What Does Abnormal Tricuspid Regurgitation Mean In NT Scan?
I am 12 weeks and 7 days pregnant and my age is 29 years.I had my NT scan yesterday and the result indicated that the baby has nasal bone,NT is 2.5mm and tricuspid regurgitation is abnormal.Am very scared.Kindly let me know whether this is a grave issue and what would be your advise on the next steps.
The interpretation of fetal investigation is as follows:
Tricuspid regurgitation refers to back flow of blood from right ventricle to right atrium.
Regurgitation occurs due to defect in the tricuspid valve.
Thus, there is some cardiac anomaly in the fetus.
Cardiac anomalies are commonly associated with other anomalies of other systems and chromosomal anomalies.
Thus, chromosomal study is also required by chrionic villuis sampling and amniocentensis to look for chromosomal anomalies.
Thanks and take care
