Mitral valve size measurement in North Karnataka by using cardiac sizer: A cadaveric study

Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2013
Background: Heart is a vital organ of circulatory system. Valves maintain the unidirectional flow of blood. Mitral valve (MV) prevents the backflow of blood into the left atrium. For the proper functioning of the heart, all valves should be intact.
