Experimental Validation of a Cardiac Simulator for in vitro Evaluation of Prosthetic Heart Valves

Abstract Objective: This work describes the experimental validation of a cardiac simulator for three heart rates (60, 80 and 100 beats per minute), under physiological conditions, as a suitable environment for prosthetic heart valves testing in the mitral or aortic position. Methods: In the experi...
