The specimen has been mounted to show the base of the heart, with the normal aortic valve (long arrow (A)) in the center and a stenotic (approximately 1.5 x 0.5 cm orifice) pulmonary valve (short arrow) below. The red glass rod indicates a patent foramen ovale. The right ventricular free wall (R on posterior view (B)) is about the same thickness as that of the left ventricle (L), indicating significant right sided hypertrophy.
