Pulmonary Valve Stenosis

While listening to your heart during a physical exam, a provider can hear a heart murmur. That’s a sign of pulmonary regurgitation or pulmonary stenosis.

What tests will be done to diagnose this condition?

A provider can use these tests to diagnose pulmonary valve disease:

• Fetal echocardiogram (for atresia).
• Echocardiogram (for atresia, stenosis or regurgitation).
• Pulse oximetry (for atresia).
• Cardiac catheterization (for atresia or stenosis).
• Electrocardiogram or EKG (for atresia or regurgitation).
• Heart MRI or magnetic resonance imaging (for stenosis or regurgitation).
• Chest X-ray (for regurgitation).
