Abstract:
A 19-month-old boy presented with a murmur and was found to have an unusual etiology of subvalvar aortic stenosis with discrete subaortic membrane and anomalous attachment of the anterior mitral valve papillary muscle to the interventricular septum. Preoperative suspicion for mitral valve involvement impacted surgical planning.

Heart Valves
4.4K
The human heart is a complex organ with an intricate system of valves that regulate blood flow. There are two main types of valves: atrioventricular (AV) valves and semilunar valves.
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...

Cardiovascular System Abnormal Findings II: Auscultation

Auscultation, an essential part of a heart examination, is done using a stethoscope. It provides crucial information about heart function and possible heart problems. Due to heart problems, abnormal sounds can be heard during systole or diastole. These sounds include S3 and S4 gallops, opening snaps, systolic clicks, and murmurs.
