Sixteen patients were asymptomatic with pulmonary systolic murmurs, although 6 patients presented with dyspnea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The severity of disease will determine when the patient presents clinically. Mild pulmonic stenosis will be asymptomatic, and will present at routine physical examination with a systolic ejection murmur. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Stenosis - when the valve doesn't open enough and blocks blood flow Valve problems can be present at birth or caused by infections, heart attacks, or heart disease or damage. [icdlist.com]

A heart murmur is the most common sign detected by a physician indicating that a valve problem may be present. [cincinnatichildrens.org]

• Systolic Murmur

  Sixteen patients were asymptomatic with pulmonary systolic murmurs, although 6 patients presented with dyspnea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Systolic Murmurs - Pulmonary Stenosis You are listening to a typical example of the murmur caused by pulmonary valve stenosis. [med.ucla.edu]

  Ejection systolic murmur along the left upper edge of the sternum. Pulmonary ejection click. Delayed second heart sound with severe stenosis. Parasternal thrill and heave. 'A waves' in the JVP. [patient.info]

  Physical examination revealed grade 3/6 systolic murmur over the precordium, most prominent in left 2 nd intercostal space. The second heart sound was inaudible. [scirp.org]

  In the second and third intercostal space to the left of the sternum there is a prominent thrill and clear harsh systolic murmur. Infundibular stenosis in the presence of murmur is heard in the third and fourth intercostales space. [remedyland.com]

• Right Ventricular Hypertrophy

  Doppler and ECG analyses showed that delta P did not change significantly similar to immediate gradient after PBPV and right ventricular hypertrophy disappeared progressively 6 months after PBPV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Right ventricular hypertrophy usually results due to right ventricular pressure overload from the stenotic valve, and this may also include infundibular hypertrophy. [omicsonline.org]

  ECG showing RVH (right ventricular hy- pertrophy) 1 mV = 5 mm standardization. Figure 6. X-ray chest PA view showing main pulmonary artery segment dilatation and RVH (right ventricular hypertrophy). [scirp.org]

  Possible outcomes include the development of right ventricular hypertrophy, right ventricular dilation and failure, the development of cyanosis (if an atrial communication is present), exercise intolerance, and reduced cardiac output. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  ECG: may show right ventricular hypertrophy, right atrial hypertrophy and right axis deviation. Angiography: may be required in children with multiple cardiac abnormalities. [patient.info]

This procedure should be considered as the primary treatment of adult patients with pulmonary valve stenosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Many children with congenital heart defects don't need treatment, but others do. Treatment can include medicines, catheter procedures, surgery, and heart transplants. [icdlist.com]

What is the treatment? Treatment is only needed when the narrowing is of a sufficient severity to be a concern. Some people with only mild or moderate narrowing never need any treatment. [childrensheartcentre.com]

Prognosis Pulmonary regurgitation is usually well tolerated in childhood. [patient.info]

What is the prognosis? The prognosis for this condition is generally good, with survival without complications nearly 100%. In the long term, these children fare well and most have no symptoms and lead normal lives. [childrensheartcentre.com]

Prognosis for pulmonary valve stenosis Patients with moderate stenosis can have a normal life. Bacterial endocarditis can be developed. [remedyland.com]

Mild-pulmonic stenosis has a generally favorable prognosis. Many times, the stenosis will improve or go away completely over the first few years of life. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Congenital etiologies cause an abnormal development of distal bulbus cordis secondary to: Rubella embryopathy (most important etiology) Isolated branch pulmonary artery stenosis (stenosis of a sling of the ductus arteriosus) Congenital/genetic syndromes [unboundmedicine.com]

Specific features depend on the etiology, which affects the level at which the obstruction to right ventricular outflow occurs: valvular pulmonic stenosis most common cause level of obstruction thickened and/or structurally abnormal valve leaflets leaflets [radiopaedia.org]

The etiological differential features of valvular pulmonic stenosis are shown in Table 1. 3.2. Clinical Characteristics 3.2.1. [scirp.org]

(Etiology) Pulmonary Valve Stenosis is a narrowing of the pulmonary valve which occurs at birth. The exact cause of the condition is unknown. [dovemed.com]

The most common etiologies are carcinoid syndrome, rheumatic fever, and homograft dysfunction. [4] Years of stenosis can result in subendocardial hypertrophy causing significant outflow obstruction and resulting in right ventricular pressure overload [emedicine.medscape.com]

Patients with severe or moderate to severe pulmonary valve stenosis require intervention to prevent long term damage to the heart. [pediatricheartspecialists.com]

Endocarditis Prevention If you have PS, you don't need to take antibiotics to prevent endocarditis unless you've had prior endocarditis or you've had valve replacement. See the section on Endocarditis for more information. [heart.org]

It can help to prevent an infection of the valve. Not everyone with valve stenosis will need this step. [winchesterhospital.org]

The pulmonary valve functions as a one-way valve that allows blood to move from the right ventricle (pumping chamber) into the artery to the lungs and prevents blood from leaking back into the right ventricle. [childrenshospital.org]

Prevention & Risk Assessment Prevention & Risk Assessment What causes pulmonary stenosis? Congenital pulmonary stenosis occurs due to improper development of the pulmonary valve in the first eight weeks of fetal growth. [childrensnational.org]
