Severe Pulmonic Regurgitation

Pulmonary diastolic runoff with RV volume overload and elevated right-sided filling pressure.

Overview

Select Severe Pulmonic Regurgitation under Clinical controls → Valves. The bold italic live label confirms the active selection. These are the preset’s teaching features; combined disease, rate and interventions can change the resulting numbers.

Pulmonary diastolic runoff with RV volume overload and elevated right-sided filling pressure.

PA pressure falls rapidly in diastole toward RV diastolic pressure.

The PA pulse pressure is wide, with a diminished dicrotic notch.

This is a chronic volume-overload teaching preset, not an estimate of regurgitant fraction.

Step by step

  1. Reset interventions if you want the untreated example.
  2. Select the condition and inspect the pressure summary and relevant waveforms.
  3. Pause for annotations; add one intervention or loading change to compare the response.
