Pulmonic Stenosis
Pulmonary valve stenosis → right ventricular outflow obstruction → pressure overload → right
ventricular hypertrophy
Heart murmur — an abnormal whooshing sound heard using a stethoscope, caused by turbulent
blood flow
Fatigue
Shortness of breath, especially during exertion
Chest pain
Loss of consciousness (fainting)
2. Aortic Stenosis
Narrowed opening area of the aortic valve during systole → obstruction of blood flow from left ventricle
(LV) → increased LV pressure → left ventricular concentric hypertrophy, which leads to → Increased LV
oxygen demand → Impaired ventricular filling during diastole → left heart failure → Reduced coronary
flow reserve
Chest pain.
Rapid, fluttering heartbeat.
Trouble breathing or feeling short of breath.
Feeling dizzy or light-headed, even fainting.
