Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the right ventricle's pressure starts to climb
Two thirds of systemic is the warning sign
The heart is struggling, working way too hard
Time for intervention, don't let down your guard

[Chorus]
Three thresholds to remember, watch them all with care
Pressure climbing high, gradient's burden there
Regurgitation flowing back, dilation everywhere
Two thirds systemic pressure, forty to fifty beware
When symptoms start appearing, it's time to prepare

[Verse 2]
Peak conduit gradient rising past the line
Forty to fifty millimeters, that's the sign
Right ventricle dilating, function's going down
The pathway's getting narrow, restriction can be found

[Chorus]
Three thresholds to remember, watch them all with care
Pressure climbing high, gradient's burden there
Regurgitation flowing back, dilation everywhere
Two thirds systemic pressure, forty to fifty beware
When symptoms start appearing, it's time to prepare

[Verse 3]
Conduit regurgitation lets the blood flow back
Progressive RV dilation puts the heart on track
For failure and dysfunction, chambers growing wide
The valve is leaking backward, nowhere left to hide

[Bridge]
Exercise intolerance tells the story clear
Cyanosis paints them blue, syncope brings fear
Clinical symptoms warning that the time has come
When any threshold's crossed, the waiting days are done

[Chorus]
Three thresholds to remember, watch them all with care
Pressure climbing high, gradient's burden there
Regurgitation flowing back, dilation everywhere
Two thirds systemic pressure, forty to fifty beware
When symptoms start appearing, it's time to prepare

[Outro]
Truncus arteriosus, type two needs repair
Watch these three thresholds, intervention's always there
