File:Pulmonary valve stenosis E00691 (CardioNetworks ECHOpedia).webm Pulmonary valve stenosis is a condition characterized by obstruction to blood flow due to narrowing (stenosis) of the pulmonary valve, which is located in the heart. This condition can be present from birth (congenital) or can develop later in life.
Symptoms[edit]
Symptoms of pulmonary valve stenosis can vary depending on the severity of the condition. They may include shortness of breath, especially during exercise, fatigue, chest pain, and a heart murmur that can be heard through a stethoscope.
Causes[edit]
Pulmonary valve stenosis is most commonly caused by congenital heart defects, meaning it is present at birth. The exact cause of these defects is often unknown, but they may be related to genetic factors or environmental exposures during pregnancy.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of pulmonary valve stenosis typically involves a physical examination, during which a doctor may hear a heart murmur. Further testing may include an echocardiogram, electrocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, or MRI of the heart.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for pulmonary valve stenosis depends on the severity of the condition. Mild cases may not require treatment, while more severe cases may require medication or surgery to repair or replace the valve.
