Description

This 3D visualization captures the structural changes seen in degenerative aortic valve stenosis, a progressive condition where the aortic valve leaflets become thickened, calcified, and stiff. The image reveals narrowed valve opening and restricted leaflet mobility, resulting in impaired blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. This detailed depiction is ideal for explaining the disease mechanism, planning surgical interventions, or enhancing student learning. The lifelike textures and internal perspective offer a clear understanding of how age-related degeneration affects valve function over time.
