Quadricuspid pulmonary valve with pulmonary hypertension: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The quadricuspid pulmonary valve (QPV) is a relatively rare heart congenital anomaly. It is usually asymptomatic and incidentally detected.

Case summary

A 52-year-old woman presented with paroxysmal palpitations and chest tightness after exertion. After a series of examinations, we finally diagnosed her with QPV and pulmonary hypertension. The symptoms have improved significantly with medications, and subsequently, the patient was discharged.

Discussion

This case demonstrated the crucial role of multimodality imaging in evaluating the non-invasive depiction of pulmonary valve disease.
