Regulates blood flow from right ventricle to pulmonary artery.

Pulmonary valve stenosis is the narrowing of the pulmonary valve.

The backward flow of blood through the pulmonary valve is termed regurgitation.

Fever is NOT a symptom of pulmonary valve disorders.

Backward flow of blood through the pulmonary valve is termed pulmonary valve regurgitation.

Echocardiography can provide detailed information about the structure and function of the pulmonary valve.

Echocardiography is commonly used for diagnosing pulmonary valve disorders.

Cyanosis is commonly associated with severe pulmonary valve disorders.

Pulmonary valve disorders are commonly associated with Tetralogy of Fallot.

Congenital heart defects are the most common cause of pulmonary valve regurgitation.

Marfan syndrome is commonly associated with Mitral valve prolapse, not pulmonary valve disorders.

The sound produced by turbulent blood flow across a stenotic pulmonary valve is termed a murmur.

The primary diagnostic test for pulmonary valve disorders is an echocardiogram.

An abnormal bulging of the pulmonary valve leaflets into the right ventricle is termed prolapse.

Heart failure is a potential complication of untreated pulmonary valve disorders.

Atherosclerosis is NOT a potential cause of pulmonary valve disorders.

The inability of the pulmonary valve to open properly is termed atresia.

Cyanosis is a symptom of severe pulmonary valve stenosis in infants.

The opening between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery is termed conus arteriosus.

Pulmonary hypertension is a potential complication of pulmonary valve regurgitation.

The abnormal backward flow of blood from the pulmonary artery into the right ventricle is termed pulmonary valve regurgitation.

Pulmonary valve atresia involves the absence of the pulmonary valve.

Surgical treatment for severe pulmonary valve disorders is valve replacement.

Pulmonary valve atresia is characterized by the absence of the pulmonary valve.

The abnormal widening or ballooning of the pulmonary valve opening is termed an aneurysm.
