Absent Pulmonary Valve Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Absent pulmonary valve syndrome is an uncommon congenital heart condition in which the valve that regulates the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs does not form properly. It is usually associated with other heart abnormalities and is present from birth.
What does it involve? The absence or poor development of this valve causes blood to flow abnormally and can lead to enlargement of the pulmonary arteries, sometimes compressing the airways.
Possible signs: Trouble breathing, noisy breathing, fatigue while feeding, or a bluish coloring in the baby.
Which specialist handles it? The pediatric cardiologist is the one who evaluates and follows up on this syndrome. When a newborn shows breathing problems or heart signs, it is important for a professional to carry out a detailed evaluation as soon as possible.
