Voorbeelden van bicuspid valve

• The first is the bicuspid valve (mitral valve) which is found between the left atrium (auricle) and the left ventricle.

• The aorta arose from the large left ventricle through a competent bicuspid valve.

• The bicuspid valve also prevents the backflow of blood into the left atrium during ventricular contraction (systole).

• Normally the only cardiac valve that is bicuspid is the mitral valve (bicuspid valve) which is situated between the left atrium and left ventricle.

• The right side of the atrial canal will become the tricuspid valve and the left will become the bicuspid valve.

• This results from the fusing of two of the cusps during embryonic development forming a bicuspid valve instead of a tricuspid valve.

• The mitral valve is also called the bicuspid valve because it contains two leaflets or cusps.

• With special reference to the development of aortic stenosis upon congenital bicuspid valves.

• Since bicuspid valves are capable of regulating blood flow properly, this condition may go undetected without regular screening.
