Vector flow mapping reveals that mitral prosthetic valves can cause additional kinetic energy loss during early systole due to altered flow redirection and collision.

Should not change prosthetic valve selection; hypothesis-generating for clinical impact of prosthesis-related energy loss.
Muñoz et al. (2015) studied this question.
