...left ventricle. This valve had worked so poorly for so long that the overtaxed left ventricle had become enlarged, flabby and inefficient. It was possible that Patient DeRudder could survive with nothing more than an artificial valve, but the surgeons could not be sure until they cut into his chest and saw for themselves...
