Differential diagnosis of underlying causes
Pulmonary hypertension | Infective endocarditis | Rheumatic heart disease
- Congenital abnormalities*: tetralogy of Fallot, ventricular septal defect, valvular pulmonic stenosis
Carcinoid heart disease, the majority of patients with metastatic disease will have both pulmonic stenosis and pulmonic regurgitation | Marfan syndrome | Trauma from withdrawing a Swan-Ganz catheter with the balloon inflated. | Following valvuloplasty of pulmonary stenosis | Syphilis infection | absence of the pulmonic valve | Fenestrations in or redundant leaflets of the pulmonic valve
