Chronic pulmonary regurgitation has a detrimental long-term effect on right ventricular function, exercise capacity, and risk of arrhythmia, necessitating timely pulmonary valve replacement.
Chronic pulmonary regurgitation has detrimental long-term effects on right ventricular function, necessitating timely assessment with CMR and elective pulmonary valve replacement before irreversible dysfunction occurs.
