Pulmonary stenosis is a cardiac ailment characterized by the abnormal narrowing of the pulmonary valve, a critical junction regulating blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. This constriction disrupts the normal blood circulation, causing the right ventricle to work harder to pump blood to the lungs. Predominantly a congenital anomaly, the severity of pulmonary stenosis can vary, with symptoms ranging from inconspicuous to severe. While some individuals with mild cases may experience no noticeable symptoms initially, those with severe pulmonary stenosis may encounter chest pain, persistent fatigue, and episodes of fainting. Early detection and intervention are pivotal for effective management and to avert potential complications associated with this condition. Medical professionals often employ surgical procedures or balloon valvuloplasty to alleviate the constriction and restore optimal blood flow.
