Tricuspid stenosis differential diagnosis

Differential Diagnosis

 * Thrombus on a pacemaker (either temporary or permanent) wire
 * Rheumatic fever: Scarring associated with the disease will increase the valve's susceptibility to hardening
 * Ebstein's anomaly
 * Endomyocardial fibrosis
 * Lupus erythematosus
 * Endocarditis
 * Congenital tricuspid atresia: A malformation of the tricuspid valve present at birth
 * Right atrial tumor: Abnormal growth in the right atrium near the tricuspid valve, which can block the opening of the valve
 * Carcinoid syndrome: Change in tissue characteristics of the cells effects the tricuspid valve
