Artificial Aortic Valve Structure

INSIGHT

Viewing an artificial heart valve when functioning in the heart provides one level of understanding, but it can be even more important to consider the intricacy of its components.

IMPACT

This animated approach serves as an introduction to the anatomical context and assembly of a prosthetic heart valve. The initial side-by-side animation of the artificial heart valve inside the heart muscle puts into context how the device operates within the heart, supporting the presenter in visually explaining the device’s role in the cardiac system. Following that sequence, a breakaway animation assists the presenter in walking through the various parts and assembly of the device, providing a valuable visual aid that showcases the intricacies of the device’s components.
