Prompts vigilance for right ventricular failure in isolated pulmonic valve incompetence with comorbidities; single case leaves open need for prospective data.
Case Report (n=2)
Isolated pulmonic valve incompetence is not a benign condition and can lead to right ventricular failure, highlighting the importance of clinical suspicion and confirmation via right heart catheterization.
BEN O. PRICE (1961) conducted a case report in Isolated incompetence of the pulmonic valve (n=2). Isolated incompetence of the pulmonic valve was evaluated. Isolated incompetence of the pulmonic valve is not a benign lesion and may precipitate right ventricular failure when complicating diseases are present.
