„Erler-Zimmer GmbH & Co. KG 3D model of bicuspid aortic valve stenosis:
- Model Number: MP2038
- Clinical history:
There is no clinical history of this preparation. - Pathology:
This preparation is a partial horizontal 1.5 cm section through the plane of the left ventricle, the smooth interior of which, together with the left atrial appendage and part of the left ventricle, is visible below. In the upper part, the pulmonary trunk (and part of the pulmonary tricuspid valve) and the aorta, including the affected abnormal bicuspid valve, are clearly visible. From this upper perspective, calcified wear or thickenings can be seen on the opposite edges of the valves. There is also a single region of calcification in one of the pulmonary valve leaflets. - Additional information:
Bicuspid aortic valve stenosis is a common congenital anomaly that is often not detected until adulthood. In fact, it is the most common congenital anomaly of the heart. Aortic valve stenosis can range from mild to severe, and signs and symptoms usually develop when the narrowing of the valve is severe. Some people with aortic valve stenosis may not have symptoms for many years. Signs and symptoms may include an abnormal heart sound (a heart murmur), radiating chest pain (angina), shortness of breath and chest pain, especially with increased activity, and palpitations—a sensation of a fast, pounding heartbeat. The heart-weakening effects of aortic valve stenosis can lead to heart failure. Signs and symptoms of heart failure include fatigue, shortness of breath, and swollen legs and feet.
