pulmonary stenosis
what is pulmonary stenosis?
A narrowing of the pulmonary valve that obstruct blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs
this clinical sign along with tachycardia is considered a reliable indicator of pneumonia
chest retraction or increased work of breathing
this is a condition where nerve damage occurs due to prolonged high blood sugar levels in children with diabetes
diabetic neuropathy
valvular pulmonary stenosis cause increased pressure in this heart chamber
right ventricle
This major genetic syndrome is commonly associated with branch pulmonary stenosis
Williams syndrome
This symptom common during exertion may be seen in moderate or severe cases
shortness of breath or fatigue
children with this this chronic genetic condition are more prone to developing recurrent bacterial pneumonia
cystic fibrosis
children with diabetes are at higher risk for this condition
heart disease
A common congenital cause of valvular pulmonary stenosis is the fusion of these structures
valve leaflets
in severe cases branch PAS can lead to this complication involving uneven blood flow between the lungs
Differential pulmonary perfusion
Children with with mild PS often require only this type of care
monitoring
this common symptom of pneumonia in infant may be absent with irritability or poor feeding seen instead
fever
Long term high blood sugar in children with diabetes can damage these tiny blood vessels leading to kidney disease
glomeruli
Newborn with critical pulmonary stenosis may require this emergency treatment to maintain ductal blood flow
prostaglandin E1
This test measures blood flow to each lung and helps assess the impact of branch PAS
Prefusion scan (Nuclear medicine lung scan)
children with repaired PS may need this type of test before participating in competitive sports
exercise stress tess
This type of pneumonia named for shape seen on chest x-ray involves consolidation of an entire lobe
Lobar pneumonia
this condition involves poor circulation in the lower limbs and can lead to infection or ulcers in children with uncontrolled diabetes
diabetic peripheral vascular
This congenital heart defect is commonly associated with valvular pulmonary stenosis
Tetralogy of fallot
This symptom , though rare in mild cases, may appear in children with severe bilateral branch PAS
Exercise intolerance or fatigue
This rare genetic syndrome includes pulmonary stenosis as part of its cardiac abnormalities and characteristic facial features
Noonan syndrome
this symptom when present in pneumonia may indicate pleural irritation or effusion
chest pain
diabetic children are at a higher risk for this condition which can lead to vision impairment
diabetic retinopathy
If a balloon valvuloplasty fails this surgical intervention may be required
pulmonary valve replacement
In cases of complex congenital heart disease this type of surgical repair may be needed to reconstruct narrowed pulmonary arteries
Patch angioplasty or surgical arterioplasty
