Overview
Pulmonary valve regurgitation is a condition where the pulmonary valve is not strong enough to prevent backflow into the right ventricle. Nearly all individuals have physiologic (trace-to-mild) pulmonic regurgitation, and the incidence increases with advancing age. Hence, there is a backward flow of blood from the pulmonary artery, through the pulmonary valve, and into the right ventricle of the heart during diastole.
