Heart valves in motion: tricuspid & pulmonary valves in 3D 🫀 Your heart beats 100,000 times a day, pumping blood through a network of valves that ensure unidirectional flow and prevent backflow. Two of these essential valves—the tricuspid and pulmonary valves—work together to keep oxygen-poor blood moving toward the lungs for oxygenation. Let’s take a closer look at their function and importance: Tricuspid valve ✔️ Located between the right atrium and right ventricle ✔️ Opens to allow blood to

💓 Inside the Tricuspid Valve: A 3D Journey 💓 Our new animation takes you through the tricuspid valve, one of the heart's essential valves located between the right atrium and right ventricle. This valve ensures that blood flows in the correct direction—preventing backflow—so it can move on to the lungs for oxygenation. The animation provides a unique perspective, showing the valve’s structure and function from inside the heart. This close-up view emphasizes how the tricuspid valve supports eff

Apical four chamber view (A4C) This normal ultrasound demonstrates all four chambers of the heart. On the left of the screen, the RV can be seen longitudinally. The moderator band is the hyperechoic lateral structure inside the RV cavity. The tricuspid valve opens and closes at the bottom of the RV. Deep to that is the right atrium. To the right of the right atrium is the left atrium, and through the mitral valve is the LV. During several cardiac cycles the aortic valve can be seen next to the a
