Energy loss associated with in-vitro modeling of mitral annular calcification.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Study aims were to compare hemodynamics and viscous energy dissipation (VED) in 3D printed mitral valves-one replicating a normal valve and the other a valve with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC). Patients with severe MAC develop transmitral gradients, witho...
