Implication

May guide bedside severity estimation in pulmonary stenosis; leaves open validation against modern imaging.

Structured PICO

Does auscultatory and phonocardiographic assessment accurately predict the severity of pulmonary stenosis with intact ventricular septum?

P
Population
51 patients with pulmonary stenosis and intact ventricular septum (43 with pulmonary valve stenosis, 8 with infundibular stenosis).
I
Intervention
Auscultatory and phonocardiographic assessment.
C
Comparator
Right ventricular pressure measurement (reference standard for determining stenosis severity).
O
Outcome
Correlation between the severity of stenosis (right ventricular pressure) and the duration of right ventricular systole (length of systolic murmur and width of splitting of the second heart sound).surrogate

Auscultatory and phonocardiographic features, particularly murmur length and the degree to which the aortic sound is buried, are reliable guides for predicting the severity of pulmonary stenosis.
