This answer also make sense because dilation in the inferior vena cava (IVC) is used in echocardiography to approximate right atrial pressure. If the tricuspid (which connects the right atrium to the right ventricle) does not close properly and blood is pushed back into the right atrium during systole, that will increase the pressure in the right atrium, which in turn can lead to dilation of the IVC.

As I posted on your other question, this medical initialism/acronym resource is indispensable. If you're going to do any amount of medical translation, do yourself a giant favor and register for this site.

(For IT, they give 46 different possibilities ... I won't copy all of them here.)

Also keep in mind Ian Beattie's in-print offering.
