Description

This 3D visualization depicts mitral regurgitation, a condition where the mitral valve fails to close completely, causing blood to flow backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium. The image clearly illustrates the anatomy of the mitral valve and surrounding cardiac structures, offering an in-depth view of leaflet malcoaptation and the resulting dysfunction. This detailed anatomical representation aids in understanding the underlying mechanisms of mitral valve insufficiency, making it an essential educational tool for medical students, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons.
