Pulmonary valve overview
The PV section groups annulus size, stenosis level and Doppler gradients, pulmonary regurgitation grade, ED-Doppler pressure estimates, and PISA inputs.

Simple approach
Use the section from top to bottom: confirm annulus size, choose the stenosis level, enter peak and mean CW Doppler, then grade PR and add ED-Doppler or PISA data when relevant.
Detailed tutorial
Pulmonary valve assessment is usually concise. The most important workflow is to separate anatomy from haemodynamics: annulus size describes the valve/root geometry, the stenosis level explains where the obstruction sits, and Doppler measurements quantify the gradient.
For regurgitation, start with the integrated grade. ED-Doppler velocity and pressure help estimate pulmonary artery end-diastolic pressure when the signal is reliable. PISA is reserved for studies where quantitative PR assessment is feasible.
Info
Keep the clinical context visible. RV size/function, pulmonary pressures, and prior intervention often matter more than a single PV number.
