Pulmonary valve insufficiency - what does this mean

Pulmonary valve insufficiency is a condition in which the pulmonary valve does not close properly, resulting in blood flowing back into the right ventricle of the heart instead of out into the pulmonary artery. this causes a decrease in oxygenated blood to the lungs and can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

What happens during the disease - pulmonary valve insufficiency

Pulmonary valve insufficiency is caused by damage to the pulmonary valve, which is responsible for regulating the flow of blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the pulmonary artery. damage to the valve can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, inflammation, or congenital defects. this damage can cause the valve to become leaky, resulting in an increased flow of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. this increased flow can cause the pressure in the pulmonary artery to rise, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs and other symptoms associated with pulmonary valve insufficiency.
