No immediate clinical implications; leaves open translation of vortex-mediated AV valve dynamics to human hemodynamics.
This preclinical study demonstrates that stable flow patterns, specifically expanding vortex systems behind the atrioventricular valves, are present during diastolic filling and appear important for normal valve dynamics.
Taylor et al. (1973) studied this question.
