Implication

No PCO2 effect on cavitation in vitro; leaves open in vivo relevance for mechanical valve patients.

Structured PICO

Population

In vitro model using a 25-mm Medtronic Hall mechanical heart valve installed in the mitral position of an electro-hydraulic total artificial heart, using a 50% glycerin solution at 37 degrees C.

Intervention

Controlled partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2) at heart rates of 60, 70, and 100 bpm.

Outcome

Cavitation intensity quantified using a high-speed camera.surrogate

In an in vitro model of a mechanical heart valve, varying the partial pressure of CO2 did not significantly affect cavitation intensity.
