Prognosis
- The prognosis of pulmonic regurgitation depends on the severity of the condition and associated complications.
- Symptomatic patients are treated with pulmonary valve replacement and have a good prognosis.[1]
- Patient survival depends upon the underlying etiology of the pulmonic regurgitation. Among patients with pulmonary hypertension, the severity and duration of the pulmonary hypertension will be determinants of the ultimate prognosis. Patients with congenital absence of the pulmonic valve have severe regurgitation and this may limit their life expectancy if the valve is not replaced. Mild to moderate pulmonic regurgitation is not associated with shortened survival.
