Computational fluid dynamics modeling demonstrates that aortic valve geometry and leaflet opening affect shear stress distribution, providing insights into the hemodynamics of normal and prolapsed valves.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
CFD modeling maps aortic valve shear; hypothesis-generating for prolapse mechanisms, needs in vivo validation.
Vu et al. (2012) studied this question.
