Cusps of Heart Valves - Semilunar Valves

Semilunar Valves

• pulmonary valve
  • "right cusp"
  • "left cusp"
  • "anterior cusp"

Nowhere in the literature does it describe the echocardiographic location of each pulmonary valve. According to researcher and professor Dr. Paul Michael, in the RVOT view the anterior and right cusps can be viewed.

• aortic valve. (Note that one is absent in the condition bicuspid aortic valve.)
  • "right cusp"
  • "left cusp"
  • "posterior cusp" (or "noncoronary cusp")
