Abstract
The terms used in this volume will be reviewed. The leaflets are best termed anterior (A.M.V.) and posterior (P.M.V.). The corresponding terms aortic and mural are not in common use; the objection to both will be evident. The papillary muscles are termed lateral (L.M.P.) and posterior (P.P.M.) rather than anterolateral and posteromedial. The commissuers are termed superior (S.C.) and inferior (I.C.).
