Overview

Class I
"1. Cardiac catheterization is recommended in the adolescent or young adult with pulmonic stenosis for evaluation of the valvular gradient if the Doppler peak jet velocity is greater than 3 m per second (estimated peak gradient greater than 36 mm Hg) and balloon dilation can be performed if indicated. (Level C)"

Class III
"1. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is not recommended for the initial diagnostic evaluation of pulmonic stenosis in adolescent and young adult patients. (Level C)"
