The area of a normal mitral valve is 4 to 6 cm 2. This area is sufficient to allow a great deal of blood to flow from the left atrium (LA) to the left ventricle. When any disease process decreases ...

The septum separates the right-hand and left-hand side of the heart. The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle. It opens due to a build-up of pressure in the right atrium ...

Left ventricular outflow obstruction most commonly occurs at the aortic valve itself; however, it can occur above the aortic valve (supravalvular) as in William’s syndrome or below the aortic ...

The septum separates the right-hand and left-hand side of the heart. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle and opens due to a build-up of pressure in the ...

The aortic valve sits between the left ventricle (the heart's lower left chamber) and the aorta (the main artery in the heart). A heart murmur can happen when this valve doesn’t function properly.

The following is a summary of “Computed tomography derived predictors of left ventricular obstruction after TAVR,” published ...
