Key result
Cardiac magnetic resonance identified a quadricuspid pulmonary valve with severe regurgitation in a 65-year-old woman evaluated for dyspnea and peripheral edema.
Cardiac magnetic resonance is an effective imaging modality for identifying rare congenital anomalies such as a quadricuspid pulmonary valve.
Quadricuspid pulmonary valve may underlie severe regurgitation and symptoms in adults; leaves open questions on prevalence and management.
A quadricuspid pulmonary valve, exhibiting two equal and two smaller cusps, associated with severe regurgitation was found by cardiac magnetic resonance in a 65-year-old woman referred for evaluation of dyspnea and peripheral edema.
