==Antiobiotic prophylaxis==
The American Heart Association Recommendations on Prevention of [[Bacterial Endocarditis]] indicate that antibiotic prophylaxis is not necessary for pulmonic regurgitation in those patients with otherwise structurally normal pulmonic valves, particularly if there is no diastolic murmur. It should be noted, though, that those patients with the following conditions may warrant antibiotic prophylaxis:
1. Complex cyanotic heart disease
2. Prosthetic heart valves
3. Patients with congenital heart disease and pulmonic regurgitation
4. Acquired pulmonic valve regurgitation as the result of rheumatic heart disease
5. Patients with complex cyanotic heart disease
6. In patients who have previously sustained bacterial endocarditis
