Other congenital malformations of pulmonary valve - what does this mean
Other congenital malformations of pulmonary valve occur when the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery does not form correctly during fetal development. this can result in narrowing or leakage of the valve, leading to difficulty with the normal flow of blood from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery.
What happens during the disease - other congenital malformations of pulmonary valve
Other congenital malformations of the pulmonary valve are caused by an abnormal development of the pulmonary valve during fetal development. this can occur due to genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both. these malformations can lead to a narrowing of the valve, which can cause difficulty in the flow of blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. this can result in an increased pressure in the right ventricle, leading to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical exam to assess the size and shape of the heart
- Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of the heart
- Chest X-ray to assess the size and shape of the heart
- CT scan to assess the size and shape of the heart
- MRI scan to assess the structure and function of the heart
- Cardiac catheterization to assess the structure and function of the heart
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess the electrical activity of the heart
- Blood tests to assess the levels of certain proteins and hormones in the blood
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To improve the functioning of the pulmonary valve and reduce the symptoms of Other Congenital Malformations of Pulmonary Valve.
- Prescribing medications to reduce the symptoms
- Performing imaging tests to evaluate the functioning of the pulmonary valve
- Conducting an electrocardiogram to monitor the heart rate and rhythm
- Performing a cardiac catheterization to measure the pressure in the pulmonary artery
- Performing corrective surgery to repair the valve, if necessary
- Providing lifestyle advice to manage the condition
15 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Other congenital malformations of pulmonary valve - Prevention
The best way to prevent other congenital malformations of the pulmonary valve is to ensure that pregnant women receive regular prenatal care, including ultrasounds, to monitor the development of the fetus. additionally, avoiding lifestyle and environmental factors that can increase the risk of birth defects, such as smoking or exposure to certain pollutants, can help reduce the risk of other congenital malformations of the pulmonary valve.
