Overview

Pulmonary valve regurgitation may be classified according to pulmonary valve morphology and severity of the disease. According to the pulmonary valve morphology, it may be classified into primary and secondary or functional regurgitation. Severity of disease may classify into mild, moderate and severe disease.[1][2][3]

Classification

Pulmonary valve regurgitation is classified into the following types based on the morphology of the valve and severity of the disease:

Based on the Pulmonary Valve Morphology

Pulmonary valve regurgitation is classified into primary and secondary types based on the involvement of the pulmonary valve

Based on the Severity

Pulmonary valve regurgitation is classified into three categories based on the severity of the regurgitant jet demonstrated on the [[2D echocardiography.[3]

  • Mild: Normal valve morphology and usually asymptomatic
  • Moderate: Normal to abnormal valve morphology with mild symptoms
  • Severe: Abnormal valve morphology with significant symptomatology
