About Video

This video clip shows the parasternal short-axis view at the level of the aortic valve. The three cusps of the aortic valve are seen (clockwise from top: right, left, and non-coronary). The interatrial septum provides a useful landmark for identifying the non-coronary cusp. The right coronary cusp can is perpendicular to the tricuspid valve at one commissure, and the pulmonic valve at the other.
