Absence or low individual and public risk
Pulmonary valve stenosis with insufficiency - what does this mean
Pulmonary valve stenosis with insufficiency is a condition where the pulmonary valve is narrowed and not able to open properly, resulting in a decrease in blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs. this can lead to an increase in pressure in the right ventricle and can cause right-sided heart failure. in addition, the valve may not close properly, resulting in a backflow of blood from the lungs to the right ventricle, known as insufficiency.
What happens during the disease - pulmonary valve stenosis with insufficiency
Pulmonary valve stenosis with insufficiency is a condition in which the pulmonary valve becomes narrowed, leading to an obstruction of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. this obstruction causes an increase in pressure in the right ventricle, resulting in a decrease in blood flow to the lungs. as a result, the right ventricle becomes weakened and unable to pump enough blood to the lungs, leading to pulmonary insufficiency.
