Congenital pulmonary valve insufficiency - what does this mean
Congenital pulmonary valve insufficiency is a condition in which the pulmonary valve, which is responsible for regulating the flow of blood between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, does not close properly, resulting in an increased amount of blood flowing back into the right ventricle. this can lead to elevated blood pressure in the lungs, which can cause a variety of symptoms.
What happens during the disease - congenital pulmonary valve insufficiency
Congenital pulmonary valve insufficiency is caused by a defect in the structure of the pulmonary valve, which is responsible for regulating blood flow from the right ventricle of the heart to the pulmonary arteries. this defect can be caused by a genetic mutation, or may be acquired due to a viral infection or other environmental factors. the defect in the valve structure causes the valve to become leaky, resulting in an increased flow of blood into the pulmonary arteries and an increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain.
