Question
Hello doctor,
Can I ask if there is a problem with 3/4 pulmonary valve regurgitation? If so, what is the treatment? I have a history of congenital fallot 4 which was cured 14 years ago. I still go to the hospital regularly, the doctors there say it's okay because it has not affected the structure and function of the search. Please advise, thank you.
