==History and Symptoms==
In mild to moderate cases, pulmonic regurgitation is asymptompatic. In more severe pulmonic regurgitation, patients may develop right ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction. Patients with early right ventricular dysfunction are often categorized as [[NYHA class]] 1.<ref name="pmid15640261">{{cite journal| author=Bouzas B, Kilner PJ, Gatzoulis MA| title=Pulmonary regurgitation: not a benign lesion. | journal=Eur Heart J | year= 2005 | volume= 26 | issue= 5 | pages= 433-9 | pmid=15640261 | doi=10.1093/eurheartj/ehi091 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15640261  }} </ref><ref name="pmid7421291">{{cite journal| author=Wessel HU, Cunningham WJ, Paul MH, Bastanier CK, Muster AJ, Idriss FS| title=Exercise performance in tetralogy of Fallot after intracardiac repair. | journal=J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg | year= 1980 | volume= 80 | issue= 4 | pages= 582-93 | pmid=7421291 | doi= | pmc= | url= }} </ref> At this stage, research suggests that diagnostic measures such as [[exercise testing]] may indicate varying levels of exercise intolerance.<ref name="pmid15640261">{{cite journal| author=Bouzas B, Kilner PJ, Gatzoulis MA| title=Pulmonary regurgitation: not a benign lesion. | journal=Eur Heart J | year= 2005 | volume= 26 | issue= 5 | pages= 433-9 | pmid=15640261 | doi=10.1093/eurheartj/ehi091 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15640261  }} </ref><ref name="pmid1622697">{{cite journal| author=Carvalho JS, Shinebourne EA, Busst C, Rigby ML, Redington AN| title=Exercise capacity after complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot: deleterious effects of residual pulmonary regurgitation. | journal=Br Heart J | year= 1992 | volume= 67 | issue= 6 | pages= 470-3 | pmid=1622697 | doi= | pmc=PMC1024889 | url= }} </ref> As right ventricular failure progresses, right ventricular dysfunction becomes more symptomatic.

Overview

History and Symptoms

Clinical presentation of pulmonary regurgitation varies on the severity of the regurgitation and the right ventricular function.[1][2]

Prior to the age of 40, symptom onset is rare. Patients over 40 may potentially develop symptoms of right heart failure and present the risk of sudden cardiac death. [3][2]
