Other pulmonary valve disorders - what does this mean
Other pulmonary valve disorders are caused by a variety of factors, including congenital heart defects, rheumatic fever, endocarditis, and other conditions. in some cases, the pulmonary valve becomes thickened or narrowed, which prevents it from opening and closing properly, leading to decreased blood flow to the lungs. in other cases, the valve may become leaky, allowing blood to flow backwards into the right ventricle.
What happens during the disease - other pulmonary valve disorders
Other pulmonary valve disorders are a group of conditions that cause the pulmonary valve to not function properly. this can lead to a decrease in blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs, resulting in increased pressure in the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries. this can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, and other symptoms. it can also lead to damage to the heart muscle and other organs due to the increased pressure. treatment depends on the specific disorder, but may include medications, surgery, or other interventions.
