Differentiating Pulmonary atresia from other Disorders
As Pulmonic valva atresia presents with the signs and symptoms of right ventricular outflow obstruction, it can be confused with the disease with similar presentation. Diagnosis can be made on the basis of Echocardiographic findings. Conditions sharing the pulmonic outflow obstructions are;
1) Tetralogy of Fallot
2) Critical Pulmonary Stenosis
3) Tricuspid Atresia
