Abstract
The anatomy of the equine mitral valve and certain variations observed in 60 adult horses are described. The functional role of this valve, sited between the left atrium and the high pressure-generating left ventricle, is discussed in relation to its anatomical structure. A method of examining the left side of the heart post mortem is described.
