Overview

A small amount of pulmonic regurgitation is normal and occasionally can be heard in thin subjects. Pathologic pulmonic regurgitation is most frequently a result of pulmonary hypertension (Graham-Steell murmur) or residual after Tetralogy of Fallot repair in adults.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
