Pulmonary Valve Disease

Pulmonary Valve Disease - What it is

Pulmonary valve disease occurs when there is dysfunction in the pulmonary valve, which is located between the heart's lower right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, which is the artery that delivers blood to the lungs. This condition can inhibit blood flow from the heart to the lungs.

When functioning well, the pulmonary valve works as a one-way opening from the heart's right ventricle to the lungs, allowing blood without oxygen to flow through.
