Why the study?
Does including aortic valve morphology in CFD simulations alter the estimation of local hemodynamics compared to a standard plug inlet profile?
Does including aortic valve morphology in CFD simulations alter the estimation of local hemodynamics compared to a standard plug inlet profile?
Incorporating aortic valve morphology into CFD simulations significantly impacts the estimation of local hemodynamics, providing a more realistic model for evaluating conditions like aortic coarctation.

Accounting for valve morphology refines aortic CFD hemodynamics estimates; hypothesis-generating for coarctation/BAV, should not yet change practice.
