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.

Historical perspective

The pulmonary valve and its function of allowing blood to the lungs for nourishment was first described by Hippocrates. Erasistratus, mentioned the involvement of the pulmonary valve in the unidirectional flow. Realdo Colombo described the pulmonary circulation for the first time.[1]

Classification

Pulmonary valve regurgitation may be classified according to pulmonary valve morphology and severity of the disease. According to the pulmonary valve morphology, it may be classified into primary and secondary or functional regurgitation. Severity of disease may classify into mild, moderate and severe disease.[2][3][4]

Pathophysiology

Pathophysiologic mechanism of pulmonic regurgitation include right ventricular overload resulting in right ventricular remodelling and progressive decline in function. The rate of decline in right ventricular systolic function is affected by associated conditions such as peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis and pulmonary hypertension which further increase the severity of pulmonary regurgitation.[5]
