The Full Anatomy and Physiology of the Mitral Valve Explained

Cardiac surgeon and CTSNet Senior Editor Dr. Vince Gaudiani shares a detailed and fascinating explanation of the anatomy and physiology of the mitral valve. He  explains why the mitral valve has been created to function as it does and how, in fact,  its design is a great solution for the heart as it transitions from ejection in a resting state to pumping rapidly at maximum exertion. This is a fantastic must watch video for all cardiac surgeons who perform mitral repair and a great prelude to Dr. Gaudiani’s video series exploring mitral valve repair.
