Absence or low individual and public risk
Congenital pulmonary valve stenosis - what does this mean
Congenital pulmonary valve stenosis is a condition in which the pulmonary valve, which is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, does not open properly, causing the right ventricle to work harder than normal to pump blood through the pulmonary artery. this can cause a buildup of pressure in the right ventricle, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain.
What happens during the disease - congenital pulmonary valve stenosis
Congenital pulmonary valve stenosis is a condition in which the pulmonary valve of the heart does not open fully, leading to an obstruction of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. this obstruction is caused by an abnormal development of the valve leaflets during fetal development, resulting in the valve being too narrow and not allowing enough blood to pass through. in some cases, the cause is unknown, while in others, it can be due to genetic mutations or environmental factors.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Echocardiogram
- Chest X-ray
- Cardiac Catheterization
- MRI or CT scan
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Pulmonary Artery Pressure Measurement
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the Treatment: To reduce the obstruction of blood flow in the pulmonary valve.
- Medication to reduce inflammation and swelling of the valve.
- Surgery to repair the valve.
- Regular monitoring of the patient’s condition.
- Cardiac catheterization to measure the pressure in the pulmonary artery.
- Echocardiogram to evaluate the valve’s condition.
- Regular exercise to improve the patient’s overall health.
- Regular check-ups to monitor the progression of the disease.
- A healthy diet to improve the patient’s overall health.
- Avoiding activities that put strain on the heart.
15 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Congenital pulmonary valve stenosis - Prevention
The most effective way to prevent congenital pulmonary valve stenosis is for pregnant women to receive regular prenatal care and to follow the advice of their healthcare provider regarding any necessary lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of complications. additionally, avoiding exposure to environmental toxins and infectious agents can help reduce the risk of congenital pulmonary valve stenosis.
