Pulmonary valve stenosis - what does this mean

Pulmonary valve stenosis is a condition in which the pulmonary valve does not open properly, causing a decrease in the amount of blood that can flow through it. this can lead to an increase in the pressure in the pulmonary artery, resulting in chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.

What happens during the disease - pulmonary valve stenosis

Pulmonary valve stenosis is a condition in which the pulmonary valve does not open properly, resulting in reduced blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. this can be caused by a congenital defect, where the valve does not form properly during fetal development, or due to a buildup of calcium deposits on the valve leaflets, or due to an infection or inflammation of the valve. in any case, the narrowing of the valve results in increased pressure in the right side of the heart, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pain.
