I would like to see exactly how the aortic valve opens during a heart
cycle.  I know there are three leaflets to the valve, but I want to
see how do they open?  If there is an actual picture [not certain how
anyone would really film that] of the workings, or some good quality
video.  It would be OK to see the mitral valve, instead, but I would
prefer to see the aortic if that is possible.

I need to see how the valve opens and closes during a heart beat.
Please let me know if you need any clarification.

Are these the sort of video clips that you had in mind or do you
require something different?
