Normal aortic valve: Thickness
0.5 - 2mm
Normal aortic valve: Length
1.5 - 2 cm
Normal aortic valve: Area
3 - 5 cm2
Normal aortic valve: Annulus
1.8 - 2.7 cm

~ 3.5 cm
Normal aortic valve: Trivial regurgitation
0 - 2 %
Normal aortic valve

Aortic Stenosis: Valve area
when the aortic valve area is 1 cm2 or less
this is severe aortic stenosis
Normal aortic valve: Echocardiograph

2 leaflets
Anterior and posterior leaflets
Normal Mitral Valve: leaflet structure
Each leaflet is divided into 3 scallops: AL, Mid and PM
Normal Mitral Valve: Leaflets thickness
0.7 - 3 mm
Normal Mitral Valve: D shape
AntPost < MedLat diameter
Normal Mitral Valve: valve area
4 - 6 cm2
Normal Mitral Valve: annulus
fibromuscular annulus
Normal Mitral Valve: what structures are involved in the action of the valve?
3 listed
- Chordae Tendinae
- AL and PM Papillary muscles
- LV walls
Normal Mitral Valve: etiology from dysfunction in what structures?
3 listed
Pathology in
- chordae tendinae
- AL and PM papillary muscles
- LV walls
can lead to mitral valve dysfunction

30 - 45 %
Normal Mitral Valve

Normal Mitral Valve: Echo
