pulmonic stenosis

Pulmonic stenosis is a condition where the valve between the right side of the heart and the lungs becomes narrowed. This makes it harder for blood to flow from the heart to the lungs, which can cause the heart to work harder and may lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, or chest pain. It can range from mild to severe and may be present at birth or develop over time. Treatment options include procedures to widen the valve, improving blood flow and easing the heart's workload.
