Pulmonary valve atresia - what does this mean
Pulmonary valve atresia is a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary valve fails to form, resulting in a complete blockage of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries. this defect prevents oxygen-poor blood from leaving the right ventricle and entering the pulmonary arteries to be delivered to the lungs.
What happens during the disease - pulmonary valve atresia
Pulmonary valve atresia is a congenital heart defect caused by abnormal development of the pulmonary valve during fetal development. this results in the valve being unable to open and close properly, leading to a lack of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. this lack of blood flow can cause the right ventricle to become enlarged and weaker over time, leading to a decrease in oxygenated blood supply to the rest of the body. as a result, symptoms of this condition can include fatigue, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.

Pulmonary valve atresia - Prevention
The best way to prevent pulmonary valve atresia is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and getting regular check-ups with a doctor. additionally, it is important to be aware of any family history of heart defects, and to seek medical attention if any symptoms of pulmonary valve atresia are present.
