A 26-year-old female asked:

How do they know murmur is innocent if pulmonary valve is not well seen on echo, would doppler show signs even if valve was not seen well?

Typically yes.: Frequently in adults, the pulmonic valve is difficult to see in 2d mode, but spectral and color flow doppler characteristics provide information on the diagnosis and quantification of any pulmonic insufficiency and pulmonic stenosis.

Had a doppler echo for evaluation of murmur. Looking at report says aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve normal. But is says nothing about the pulmonic valve. Nothing at all. This normal?

Had an echo for small murmur. Came back normal. But on report it lists aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves normal. But there is no mention of the pulmonary valve. Not anywhere. Why is this?
