Pulmonary valve disorders - what does this mean
Pulmonary valve disorders are caused by a malfunction of the pulmonary valve, which is a valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. this can cause the valve to become stiff, leaky, or completely blocked, resulting in a decrease in blood flow to the lungs. this can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain.
What happens during the disease - pulmonary valve disorders
Pulmonary valve disorders occur when the pulmonary valve, which is responsible for regulating the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs, becomes damaged or does not function properly. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, trauma, genetic defects, or congenital heart defects. when the valve is not functioning correctly, it can lead to an increase in blood pressure in the lungs, resulting in symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. in some cases, this can lead to more serious complications such as heart failure, stroke, and even death.
