Pulmonic Regurgitation
Diagnosis of Pulmonic Regurgitation
Echocardiography Often pulmonic regurgitation is detected during an examination done for some other reason. Through a stethoscope, doctors may hear a characteristic murmur produced by the blood leaking backward through the pulmonic valve. Echocardiography and Other Ultrasound Procedures can produce an image of the leaky valve and the amount of blood leaking, so that the severity of the regurgitation can be determined.
