Disorders of the pulmonic valve (PV) receive considerably less attention than other forms of valvular heart disease. Due to the dramatically improved survival of children with congenital heart disease over the last 5 decades, there has been a steady increase in the prevalence of adults with congenital heart disease, which necessitates that clinicians become familiar with the anatomy and the evaluation of right ventricular outflow tract and PV anomalies. A multimodality imaging approach using echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging is essential for a comprehensive evaluation of the anatomy and function of the right ventricular outflow tract, PV, and supravalvular region.

Background: Patients with palliated pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) have less cardiac remodeling and symptoms as compared to patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) presenting with similar severity of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) disease. What is not known is whether patients with PVS versus TOF presenting with similar severity of RVOT disease at baseline, would have similar (or different) pace of cardiac remodeling and disease progression over time. The study objective was to compare temporal changes in clinical and cardiac function indices between adults with palliated PVS and repaired TOF presenting with moderate/severe RVOT disease.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and heart valve defects are the most common cardiac defect, accounting for over 25% of all congenital heart diseases. To date, more than 400 genes have been linked to CHD, the genetic analysis of CHD cases is crucial for both clinical management and etiological determination. Patients with autosomal-recessive variants of are predisposed to Cardiac Valvular Dysplasia-1 (CVDP1), which predominantly affects the right-sided heart valves, including the pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral valves.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on improving the identification of valvular heart disease (VHD), specifically stenosis and regurgitation in aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonic valves, using a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm applied to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) reports from a large healthcare system.
  • - Researchers analyzed over a million TTE reports from Kaiser Permanente Southern California between 2011 and 2022, revealing significant prevalence rates of various valve lesions, with mitral regurgitation being the most common condition identified.
  • - The study highlighted the challenge of relying on administrative diagnostic codes, emphasizing the potential of NLP to accurately capture and assess VHD cases by evaluating

Background: Atypical myxoma has been reported in various locations in the heart, however, myxoma involving the pulmonary valve is rare. Here we present a case of pulmonic valve myxoma which was resected via a percutaneous approach.

Case Report: A 66-year-old female with known metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presented with acute onset shortness of breath for two days.
