The article presents the results of the assessment of 52 patients' quality of life that had tricuspid valve prosthesis at the age from 1 to 16 years. Quality of life was evaluated by using a Nottingham Health Profile questionnaire. The data obtained suggests that quality of life in patients with tricuspid valve prosthesis is lower; it depends on the type of the operation performed, functional classes of cardiac decompensation and exercise tolerance. Besides, it is directly correlated with the right heart and BNP level.
