Pulmonary valve stenosis is a valvular heart disease in which outflow of blood from the right ventricle of the heart is obstructed at the level of the pulmonic valve. This results in the reduction of flow of blood to the lungs.

Symptoms

Symptoms include jugular venous distention, cyanosis (usually visible in the nailbeds), and general symptoms of lowered oxygenation of the blood. When the stenosis is mild, it can go unnoticed for many years. If stenosis is severe, you may see sudden fainting or dizziness if exercised too much.

Treatment

Valve replacement or surgical repair (depending upon whether the stenosis is in the valve or vessel) may be indicated.
