Wikipedia
pulmonary stenosis
Pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) is a heart valve disorder. Blood going from the heart to the lungs goes through the pulmonary valve, whose purpose is to prevent blood from flowing back to the heart. In pulmonary valve stenosis this opening is too narrow, leading to a reduction of flow of blood to the lungs.While the most common cause of pulmonary valve stenosis is congenital heart disease, it may also be due to a malignant carcinoid tumor. Both stenosis of the pulmonary artery and pulmonary valve stenosis are forms of pulmonic stenosis (nonvalvular and valvular, respectively) but pulmonary valve stenosis accounts for 80% of pulmonic stenosis. PVS was the key finding that led Jacqueline Noonan to identify the syndrome now called Noonan syndrome.
ChatGPT
pulmonary stenosis
Pulmonary stenosis is a heart condition in which the flow of blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the pulmonary artery is blocked or restricted due to a narrowing (stenosis) of the pulmonary valve or the area below or above it. This can lead to low oxygen levels in the blood and increased pressure on the right side of the heart. The condition can be present at birth (congenital) or develop later in life.
