In so doing, it provides better understanding of imaging previously seen in 2 dimensions and in 3 dimensions in the current era. Fundamental to this is the central location of the aorta in relation to all four cardiac chambers. Furthermore, recognition of cardiac chambers is based on distinguishing morphological components irrespective of their location in the heart. Morphological criteria are especially useful in understanding of congenitally malformed hearts.http://www.cardiologyplus.org/article.asp?issn=2470-7511;year=2020;volume=5;issue=3;spage=148;epage=154;aulast=Hoaortic valve; atrial appendage; atrial septum; pericardium |
