Pulmonary Stenosis

Two days old baby boy has a systolic heart murmur. Echocardiography reveals pulmonary valve(PV) thickness, high-velocity flow within the pumonary artery and increased gradient across the PV. Right ventricual systolic pressure(RVSP) is increased.

Can you join the army if you have a pulmonary stenosis?

I have this condition. Sucks balls. Nice music.

but will someone please tell me why my students (who i take as a clinical instructor) are being taught to do this? Believe me, they don't know, either. Okay, obviously if there's a really low gradient then that would be significant.

just a question- why do people caliper their MR when they don't have a clear jet? The shape of this jet and the attempt to keep chasing it tells me it's not fully acquired. I know you may want to figure out the LA/LV gradient for some reason(?ERO? which you would trace for anyway), and in this case there may be a good reason because of the right heart-LA eventual connection,
