Figure 6 Two-Dimensional Computerized Tomography Images Showing the Relationships Between the Ventricular Myocardium and Aortic Sinus Cusps
Arrowheads indicate the distal edge of the ventricular myocardium connecting with the left coronary cusp (L) and right coronary cusp (R), and the dotted line (right panel) indicates the ventriculoarterial junction (the ostium of the left ventricle [LV]). Ao = aorta; LCA = left coronary artery; MV = mitral valve; other abbreviations as in Figure 5.
