… Further, we observed that the base of the valve leaflet is most affected by the fluid
hammer effect, suggesting that the base of the leaflets serve as cushions for fluid hammer in …

… In conclusion, the viscoelastic properties of porcine mitral valve leaflets have regional
variations, with dynamic stiffness being dependent on circumferential or radial orientation and on …

… region analysis was performed. Here, for region analysis, group of points located in 10
square regions … Data over each region was represented in terms of mean and variation (99% …

… We found regions of high stress … of heart valve leaflets. In particular, Fung’s type constitutive
modelling approach has been successfully applied to the modelling of pericardial valves. In …

… leaflets of each valve were analyzed. The limited results of this study indicate that the use of
the noncoronary leaflet as the basis for the earlier stress analysis … regions of the leaflet. Also, …

… Regardless of the valve morphology, the analysis of the leaflet deformation characteristics
indicates a contracted state along the radial direction during systole and a taut state during …

… Furthermore, for regional analysis, the leaflets were assumed to follow symmetric deformation
patterns, which doubled the sample sizes. The variations in all calculated variables were …

… were chosen to allow analysis of leaflet coaptation in the different valve regions.
Measurements were made in three regions of the mitral valve (Fig 2). The leaflet contours from the …

… Toward providing microstructural and mechanical data in matched samples, we excised
samples from the belly region of each tricuspid valve leaflet, and tested each sample under …

… In all cases, the mitral valve is built by 2 main leaflets with possible variants in … leaflet and
are mostly related to the presence of accessory scallop. Anatomically, the anterior mitral leaflet …
