Sweta Maurya, Anita Tuli

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Valvular diseases of heart constitute a major worldwide cause of disability and premature deaths from cardiovascular diseases. Mitral valve guards the left atrioventricular orifice and has 2 cusps , anterolateral and posteromedial . MATERIAL AND METHODS : Thirty formalin fixed hearts without any gross malformation or pathology were used in the study. Circumference, cross–sectional area, length of annulus, length and height of cusps of mitral valves were measured and analyzed. OBSERVATIONS : The circumference of mitral valves averaged 8.94±0.94 (range 7.3–11.1).The shape of the anterior leaflet was observed to be roughly triangular with height average 2.31±0.27 and width average 3.22±0.39. Posterior leaflet is roughly quadrangular in shape with the height average 1.24±0.32 and width average 2.1±0.39.The average of area is 6.15±1.31.DISCUSSION : Morphometry of valves thus calculated is essential information for manufacturing of prosthesis valve
