It functions like a door that swings with pressure changes as the heart beats. Clinicians commonly use the term when describing the aortic and pulmonary valves, and sometimes when discussing valve \u201cleaflets.\u201d Valve cusps are assessed on imaging tests and during valve repair or replacement procedures."}
