|
| Normal Mitral Valve |
- Two Primary Leaflets
-Septal (largest) and free wall (smaller) leaflets
- Variable number of accessory leaflets (smallest)
- Variable distribution of chordal attachments to 2 papillary muscles
- Proper coaptation depends upon normal function of the leaflets, chordae tendineae,
papillary muscles and associated ventricular myocardium
|
| Normal Tricuspid Valve |
- 3 leaflets
-Cranial
-Septal
-Free wall
- Proper coaptation depends upon normal function of the leaflets, chordae tendineae,
papillary muscles and associated ventricular myocardium
|
| Normal Aortic Valve |
- 3 primary leaflets
-Right and left coronary leaflet (cusp)
-Right
and left coronary arteries originate from their respective sinus of Valsalva.
-Noncoronary leaflet (cusp)

| Normal Pulmonic Valve |
