Pulmonary Valve Stenosis
Type: Symptom
Definition
A narrowing of the valve between the heart's lower right chamber and the artery that delivers blood to the lungs.
Clinical Details
The overactive genetic signaling disrupts the precise formation of the heart's tissues, frequently causing the pulmonary valve flaps to become thickened or fused. This severely restricts blood flow to the lungs, forcing the heart to work harder and potentially leading to heart failure.
