pulmonary stenosis

Pulmonary stenosis is a heart condition where the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the lungs is narrowed or blocked. This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the lungs, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest pain. It can be present at birth (congenital) or develop later in life. Treatment may include monitoring, medication, or surgery to repair or replace the valve, improving blood flow and overall heart function. Early diagnosis and management are important for a better quality of life.
