Implication

Informs aortic valve fluid models at physiological flows; leaves open human in vivo validation before any clinical use.

Structured PICO

Population

Two-dimensional analogue model of the natural aortic valve

Intervention

Variation of Strouhal numbers during decelerating aortic flow

Outcome

Interaction between the sinus content and the aortic flow (closing behaviour of the valve)

Experimental and theoretical models demonstrate that at physiological Strouhal numbers, the aortic valve cusp closes by remaining straight and slowly rotating around its attachment point.
