This paper provides a review of engineering applications and computational methods used
to analyze the dynamics of heart valve closures in healthy and diseased states …

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a cardiac valve disease that not only affects the mitral valve
(MV), provoking mitral regurgitation, but also leads to maladaptive structural changes in the …

In vitro modeling of the left heart relies on accurately replicating the physiological conditions
of the native heart. The targeted physiological conditions include the complex fluid dynamics …

Purpose Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is associated with left ventricle (LV) fibrosis, including
the papillary muscles (PM), which is in turn linked to malignant arrhythmias. This study aims …

Purpose The purpose is to demonstrate the difference in closing volume fraction between
the single opening&closing valve tester (SOCVT) and continuous pulsatile flow valve tester …

The geometrical details and biomechanical relationships of the mitral valve–left ventricular
apparatus are very complex and have posed as an area of research interest for decades …

The mitral valve serves a critical role in healthy cardiac function by ensuring the
unidirectional flow of oxygenated blood from the left atrium into the left ventricle. It …
