Explanation

Pulmonary regurgitation is a condition that affects the heart. It happens when the valve that controls the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs doesn't close properly. This can cause some blood to leak back into the heart after it has been pumped out. This condition can lead to the heart having to work harder than normal, which may cause problems over time.
