ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mitral valve is also called the bicuspid valve and the left atrioventricular valve. As the name bicuspid valve may suggest, the mitral valve is considered to have two primary leaflets: the anterior and posterior leaflets.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mitral valve is also known as the bicuspid valve. This is one of the heart’s four valves that help prevent blood from flowing backward as it moves through the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -When this happens, the condition is called aortic valve stenosis. The heart has to work harder to pump blood into the body’s main artery, called the aorta. Bicuspid aortic valve is a heart problem present at birth. That means it is a congenital heart defect.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mitral valve is also called the bicuspid valve because it contains two leaflets or cusps. The mitral valve gets its name from the resemblance to a bishop’s mitre (a type of hat). It is on the left side of the heart and allows the blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The mitral and the tricuspid valves, also known as the atrioventricular valves, are located between the top chambers of the heart, the atria, and the lower chambers of the heart, the ventricles.
