By Mackenzie Arnold Pulmonary valve stenosis is a condition where the flow of blood from your heart to your lungs is slowed down by a deformity either on or near your pulmonary valve. This valve helps the flow from the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary valve stenosis Marek Arnold Brother Born with Pulmonary valve stenosis Balloon valvuloplasty Surgery 1-6 days old. Balloon opened up a valve. Wayne Arnold Grandfather Valve transplant at 53 and then a heart transplant, he later died of heart infection at age 54. Pulmonary valve stenosis usually occurs during the fetal development. Sometimes other medical conditions or having an artificial valve can cause the condition in older people Usually pulmonary valve stenosis occurs in babies who don’t have proper fetal development. Adults rarely get pulmonary valve stenosis, when they do it is usually a complication of another illness. Infection Heart failure If the right ventricle becomes weak, the heart may stop pumping blood causing heart failure. Irregular heart beat With artificial valves a bacterial infection may occur in the inner lining of the heart. With a severe irregular heartbeat you may need a monitor and it may weaken your heart. Medicine May be needed if severe TESTS Electrocardiogram Measure electrical activity in heart Echocardiography Use high pitched sound waves to take picture of the heart Cardiac catheterization Small tube inserted into you by the doctor to check TREATMENTS Balloon valvuloplasty Open-heart surgery To start you will see your family doctor then you will be referred to a general practitioner or a child’s physician. Lastly they will send you to a doctor specializing in the heart, usually a child’s cardiologist. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pulmona ry-valvestenosis/DS00610/DSECTION=causes http://www.lpch.org/DiseaseHealthInfo/Hea lthLibrary/cardiac/ps.html http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditio ns/CongenitalHeartDefects/AboutCongenital HeartDefects/Pulmonary-ValveStenosis_UCM_307034_Article.jsp
