May inform bioprosthetic aortic valve design to minimize fatigue stress; leaves open clinical validation of durability.
Computational modeling demonstrates that the initial contour shape of the human aortic valve leaflet is the primary determinant of its systolic motion and maximum curvature, which relates to fatigue bending stress.
Swanson et al. (1973) studied this question.
