The right atrioventricular valve, also known as the tricuspid valve, allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle in the heart. Synonyms for this valve include the right AV valve, the tricuspid valve, and the right atrioventricular valve. Another term for this valve is the atrioventricular septal valve, or septal valve for short. This valve is important in ensuring proper circulation and functioning of the heart. The tricuspid valve can occasionally develop issues, such as regurgitation or stenosis, which can lead to heart failure if left untreated. It is important to monitor the function of this valve regularly through routine medical check-ups.
