Description

The video highlights the progression of rheumatic aortic valve stenosis, focusing on the thickening and calcification of the valve leaflets caused by chronic inflammation. The visualization shows how the narrowing of the aortic valve restricts blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta, impacting overall cardiac efficiency. By illustrating the buildup of scar tissue over time, the video provides a comprehensive view of how rheumatic fever leads to structural changes in the heart. This resource is ideal for cardiologists and medical students to better understand the pathophysiology and consequences of aortic valve stenosis.
