What happens during the disease - pulmonary valve disorder, unspecified
Pulmonary valve disorder, unspecified is a disorder of the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. this valve normally regulates the flow of oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. when this valve does not function correctly, the flow of blood is not regulated, resulting in an increased pressure of the pulmonary artery. over time, this can lead to pulmonary hypertension, which can cause damage to the walls of the pulmonary artery, and eventually lead to right-sided heart failure.
