Pulmonary valve disorders in diseases classified elsewhere is caused by a variety of underlying conditions, including congenital heart defects, rheumatic heart disease, and infection. these conditions can cause inflammation and scarring of the pulmonary valve, leading to narrowing of the valve (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation). the decreased valve function can lead to an increase in pulmonary artery pressure, resulting in heart failure and other pulmonary complications.
