Analysis of mitral valve regurgitation by computational fluid dynamics

The clinical syndrome of mitral insufficiency is a common consequence of mitral valve (MV) prolapse, when the MV leaflets do not seal the closed orifice and blood regurgitates back to the atrium during ventricular contraction. There are different types of MV prolapse that may influence the degree of...
