Explain of Cardiovascular Pathology

79.Mitral valve, acute rheumatic vegetations, gross

The small verrucous vegetations seen along the closure line of this mitral valve are associated with acute rheumatic fever. These warty vegetations average only a few millimeters and form along the line of valve closure over areas of endocardial inflammation. Such verrucae are too small to cause serious cardiac problems.
