Pulmonic stenosis

Ocular hypertelorism. Pulmonic stenosis, Abnormahties of the genitalia. Retarded growth, and sensorineural Deafness (36). A CT scan showed diffuse interstitial injury characterized by thickening of the intralobular septa, with areas of ground-glass pattern. Flecainide was withdrawn and within 2 weeks the changes on CT scan had almost completely disappeared. 

Systolic murmurs begin with or after Sj and end at or before 83 depending on the origin of the murmur. They are classified based on time of onset and termination within systole midsystolic, holosys-tolic (pansystolic), early, or late. Pathologic midsystolic murmurs are associated with pulmonic stenosis, aortic stenosis, and hypertrophic...

Against this backdrop, research into less invasive approaches to treat valvular disease has been intensified. In the surgical realm, minimally invasive techniques, with its attendant patient and procedural related limitations, have been tried with some success but traditional valvular operations still remain the norm. At the same time, great strides have been made in percutaneous approaches to treatment of valvular disease. Two valvular disease states in which percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty have had great success are in the treatment of pulmonic stenosis and mitral stenosis. 

The first use of percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty was described in 1982 for patients with pulmonic stenosis (3). By the late 1980s, this treatment modality...

Causes of systolic dysfunction (decreased contractility) are reduction in muscle mass (e.g., myocardial infarction [MI]), dilated cardiomyopathies, and ventricular hypertrophy. Ventricular hypertrophy can be caused by pressure overload (e.g., systemic or pulmonary hypertension, aortic or pulmonic valve stenosis) or volume overload (e.g., valvular regurgitation, shunts, high-output states).
