Adverse Hemodynamic Conditions Associated with Mechanical Heart Valve Leaflet Immobility

Adverse Hemodynamic Conditions Associated with Mechanical Heart Valve Leaflet Immobility

Artificial heart valves may dysfunction, leading to thrombus and/or pannus formations. Computational fluid dynamics is a promising tool for improved understanding of heart valve hemodynamics that quantify detailed flow velocities and turbulent stresses to complement Doppler measurements. This combin...
