However, a subtype of patients are known to have a higher incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, the so called “arrhythmic MVP.” In recent years, several studies have been published to identify the most important clinical features to distinguish the benign form from the potentially lethal one in order to personalize patient’s treatment and follow-up. In this review, we specifically focused on red flags for increased arrhythmic risk to whom the cardiologist must be aware of while performing a cardiovascular imaging evaluation in patients with MVP.

A greater appreciation of normal and abnormal anatomy is important as new methods of treating the tricuspid regurgitation are developed.

Heart Valve Disease: Mitral and Tricuspid Valves
Heart Valve Disease: Mitral and Tricuspid Valves Heart anatomy The heart has two sides, separated by an inner wall called the septum. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen. The left side of the heart receives the oxygen- rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body. The heart has four chambers and four valves that regulate blood flow. The upper chambers are called the left and right atria, and the lower chambers are called the left and right ventricles. The mitral valve is located on the left side of the heart, between the left atrium and the left ventricle. This valve has two leaflets that allow blood to flow from the lungs to the heart. The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart, between the right atrium and the right ventricle. This valve has three leaflets and its function is to Cardiac Surgery-MATRIx Program -1- prevent blood from leaking back into the right atrium. What is heart valve disease? In heart valve disease, one or more of the valves in your heart does not open or close properly. Heart valve problems may include: • Regurgitation (also called insufficiency)- In this condition, the valve leaflets don't close properly, causing blood to leak backward in your heart. • Stenosis- In valve stenosis, your valve leaflets become thick or stiff, and do not open wide enough. This reduces blood flow through the valve. Blausen.com staff-Own work, CC BY 3.0 Mitral valve disease The most common problems affecting the mitral valve are the inability for the valve to completely open (stenosis) or close (regurgitation).

It is positioned behind the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM lungs, slightly to the left side of the chest. Your heart is a bit larger than the size of your fist. Let's examine the structures of the heart and learn how blood travels through this complex organ. Right Side The heart is divided into two sides and four chambers. On the right side, blood that has already circulated through the body enters the heart through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The blood flows into the right atrium. When this chamber is full, the heart pushes the blood through the tricuspid valve and into the the next chamber - the right ventricle. From there, the blood is pushed out of the heart through the pulmonary valve. The blood travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it will pick up oxygen and give up carbon dioxide. HEART CHAMBERS Left Side On the left side of the heart, blood that has received oxygen from the lungs enters the heart through the pulmonary veins. The blood flows into the left atrium. It is pushed through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. Finally, it is pushed through the aortic valve and into the aorta. The aorta is the body's largest artery. It helps distribute the oxygen-rich Right Left blood throughout the body. Valves Now let's take a closer look at the valves.

Ventricular Anatomy for the Electrophysiologist (Part
Ventricular Anatomy for the REVIEW Electrophysiologist (Part II) SPECIAL 서울대학교 의과대학 병리학교실 서정욱 이화여자대학교 의학전문대학원 김문영 ABSTRACT The conduction fibers and Purkinje network of the ventricular myocardium have their peculiar location and immuno-histochemical characteristics. The bundle of His is located at the inferior border of the membranous septum, where the single trunk ramifies into the left and right bundle branches. The left bundle branches are clearly visible at the surface. The right bundles are hidden in the septal myocardium and it is not easy to recognize them. The cellular characters of the conduction bundles are modified myocardial cells with less cytoplasmic filaments. Myoglobin is expressed at the contractile part, whereas CD56 is expressed at the intercalated disc. A fine meshwork of synaptophysin positive processes is noted particularly at the nodal tissue. C-kit positive cells are scattered, but their role is not well understood. Purkinje cells are a peripheral continuation of bundles seen at the immediate subendocardium of the left ventricle.
