Pulmonic stenosis
Pulmonic stenosis
, also known as
pulmonary stenosis
, is a dynamic or fixed obstruction of flow from the
right ventricle
of the heart to the
pulmonary artery
. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood. Pulmonic stenosis is usually due to isolated valvular obstruction (
pulmonary valve stenosis
), but it may be due to
subvalvular or supravalvular obstruction
, such as
infundibular
stenosis. It may occur in association with other
congenital heart defects
as part of more complicated syndromes (for example,
tetralogy of Fallot
).
