I am having trouble diagnosing hypoplastic annulus in case of pulmonic stenosis. I mean what is the criteria to say that this is a normal annulus and this is a hypoplastic annulus

I saw someone else’s post for which the specialist had agreed on hypoplastic annulus of the pulmonic valve but I wasn’t able to recognise it
Usually, the pulmonic valve
Usually, the pulmonic valve annulus should be almost the same. size like the aortic annulus. The main types of valvular pulmonic stenosis are:
Type A: only commissural fusion, valve otherwise normal
Type B: dysplastic valve: thickened immobile leaflet +/- hypoplasia of the annulus
Hourglass stenosis: narrowing at the “top” of the pulmonic valve.
Will certainly talk about this in detail when I’m back to NJ for lecturing with Sonopath
