The Suspect

To confirm that Todd had MVS I performed a sonogram. A machine sends sound waves into the body. As the waves bounce back to a computer, an image of the heart is produced. I immediately saw that Todd’s heart valve was not opening as far as it should. Todd definitely had MVS.

This is a sonogram of a healthy heart. The numbered dark spaces show the four chambers of the heart. Each is surrounded by the heart walls (dark red and blue areas). A healthy mitral valve separates chambers 2 and 4. Todd’s sonogram did not look like this.
