Basic Anatomy - Echocardiography and Perioperative Ultrasound
I have two versions of this talk here, a newer one and an older one. There will be a few cases like this in our series, and I have kept the older talk even though you only need to watch one. Why keep the second? Because the information isn’t wrong and it may be presented […]

Mitral Valve Anatomy | EchoBoardsAcademy
Understand the fundamentals of mitral valve anatomy on transesophageal echocardiography with a focus on mitral valve segements.
mitral annulus fibrosus is formed by the lateral extensions of fibrous tissue from the left and right fibrous trigones
The amount of fibrous tissue decreases as it wraps around the posterior leaflet until only myocardium is present
The lack of fibrous tissue makes the posterior mitral annulus more prone to annular dilation.
anterior leaflet is adjacent to the fibrous trigone and the aortic valve
approximately one-third of the mitral annular circumference
the posterior leaflet has twice as much annular attachment
two-thirds of the mitral annular circumference
3 distinct scallops
the scallop closest to the left atrial appendage and the anterolateral commissure named the P1 segment
the two leaflets have similar surface areas
leaflets join at the anterolateral and the posteromedial commissures
Carpentier nomenclature
anterior leaflet is named in segments corresponding to the posterior scallops: A1/P1 is considered the lateral scallop, A2/P2 the middle scallop, A3/P3 the medial scallop.

2020 SCCT Guideline for Training Cardiology and Radiology Trainees as Independent Practitioners (Level II) and Advanced Practitioners (Level III) in Cardiovascular Computed Tomography: A Statement from the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography
Cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) is a well-validated non-invasive imaging
tool with an ever-expanding array of applications beyond the assessment of coronary
artery disease. These include the evaluation of structural heart diseases, congenital
heart diseases, peri-procedural electrophysiology applications, and the functional
evaluation of ischemia. This breadth requires a robust and diverse training curriculum
to ensure graduates of CCT training programs meet minimum competency standards for
independent CCT interpretation.
