Tricuspid stenosis

If a patient with a prosthetic cardiac valve is due to undergo a dental procedure, this should be discussed with the dentist and physician to ensure antibiotic prophylaxis is administered if required. Patients are encouraged to lead an active lifestyle and exercise regularly under the supervision of their primary physician or cardiologist. Even in the absence of significant residual disease, exercise tolerance may be limited. Each patient should be encouraged to rest as needed during any exertional activity if worsening symptoms develop.
