Overview

Majority of patients with mild PR are asymptomatic and have a benign course, not progressing to chronic PR. Patients tolerate severe chronic PR for a long period of time and begin to develop symptoms when the right ventricle function begins to decline. Chronic severe PR leads to progressive dilation and systolic dysfunction of the right ventricle resulting in symptoms.[1] Complications which may result from pulmonary regurgitation include progressive right ventricular dilatation, heart failure, tricuspid regurgitation, ventricular arrythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Symptomatic patients are treated with pulmonary valve replacement and have a good prognosis.[2]

Natural history

  • Mild PR is a very common finding on 2D echo.[1]
  • Majority of patients with mild PR are asymptomatic and have a beningn course, not progressing to chronic PR.
  • Patients tolerate severe chronic PR for a long period of time and begin to develop symptoms when the right ventricle function begins to decline.
  • Chronic severe PR leads to progressive dilation and systolic dysfunction of the right ventricle resulting in symptoms.
  • Patients with acute worsening of PR should be evaluated for associated conditions such as pulmonary hypertension which increase the pressure gradient.

Complications

Complications which may result from pulmonary regurgitation include:[3][4][5][6]

Prognosis

Symptomatic patients are treated with pulmonary valve replacement and have a good prognosis.[2]
