The mitral valve is composed of two leaflets, an annulus, chordae tendineae, and two papillary muscles. The anterior (aortic) leaflet is attached to the root of the aorta in direct continuity with the aortic valve and the membranous septum, and has a rectangular shape involving one-third of the circumference of the annulus. The posterior leaflet is continuous with the posterior wall of the left atrium and is longer than the anterior leaflet occupying two-thirds of the circumference of the mitral annulus.

摘要

The mitral valve is composed of two leaflets, an annulus, chordae tendineae, and two papillary muscles. The anterior (aortic) leaflet is attached to the root of the aorta in direct continuity with the aortic valve and the membranous septum, and has a rectangular shape involving one-third of the circumference of the annulus. The posterior leaflet is continuous with the posterior wall of the left atrium and is longer than the anterior leaflet occupying two-thirds of the circumference of the mitral annulus.
