Patient was educated that signs and symptoms of pulmonary valve stenosis can vary from mild to severe depending on the degree of stenosis, severity of obstruction to the blood flow, and the extent of vital organ compromise. Patient was educated regarding signs and symptoms are as follows: Tachycardia As the blood pressure falls heart rate can increase, as the heart can try to compensate for the low blood pressure, by working harder. Murmur Patients can [...]

Patient was educated that signs and symptoms of pulmonary valve stenosis can vary from mild to severe depending on the degree of stenosis, severity of obstruction to the blood flow, and the extent of vital organ compromise. Patient was educated regarding signs and symptoms are as follows: Diminished function of vital organs Compromised blood and oxygen supply to the vital organs affect their function gradually. Blood supply could be reduced to all organs, such as, [...]

Patient was educated that signs and symptoms of pulmonary valve stenosis can vary from mild to severe depending on the degree of stenosis, severity of obstruction to the blood flow, and the extent of vital organ compromise. Patient was educated regarding signs and symptoms are as follows: Increased workload of the heart Pumping blood through the stenotic or incompletely open valve needs extra effort by the heart muscle. Extra effort by the heart must be [...]

Patient was educated on pulmonary valve stenosis and its pathophysiology as follows: A normal functioning pulmonary valve opens, when the right ventricle contracts, allowing deoxygenated or venous blood from the right ventricle to be pumped into the pulmonary arteries, to be distributed to the lungs and pulmonary capillaries. The venous blood picks up oxygen here from the lungs, to be pumped to all the vital organs in the body. Pulmonary valve stenosis is an abnormal [...]

Patient was educated regarding normal functioning of pulmonary valve as follows: Pulmonary valve is the valve on the right side of heart, between right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries. Pulmonary valve opens when the right ventricle contracts, allowing deoxygenated/venous blood from the right ventricle to be pumped into the pulmonary arteries. This deoxygenated/venous blood in the pulmonary arteries gets distributed to the lungs and pulmonary capillaries, where it picks up oxygen and becomes oxygenated. The [...]
