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 | Syphilis infection
- Trauma from withdrawing a Swan-Ganz catheter with the balloon inflated.
- Following valvuloplasty of pulmonary stenosis
- Absence of the pulmonic valve
- Fenestrations in or redundant leaflets of the pulmonic valve
