Pulmonic regurgitation is most commonly seen secondary to various etiologies causing pulmonary hypertension. It also appears in patients who have undergone a valvotomy. The clinical picture is dominated by primary lung disease in most cases, and with disease progression, exertional dyspnea, fatigue, and lower extremity swelling may be reported. The classic murmur of pulmonic regurgitation–Graham Steell murmur is heard when systolic pulmonary pressure exceeds 55 mmHg. Commonly seen electrocardiogram findings include tall P-waves indicating right atrial enlargement secondary to pulmonary hypertension. Doppler echocardiography is extremely accurate in detecting pulmonic regurgitation. The most crucial aspect of management is treating the primary condition. Valve replacement may be necessary at times. The prognosis of this condition depends on the severity of pulmonic regurgitation. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of pulmonic regurgitation and the importance of the interprofessional team.
