Circulation, 2011 A 55-year-old invasive/clinical cardiologist worked full time, exercised regularly, and was asymptomatic. Two weeks previously, he had new onset of angina on exertion. Echocardiography/Doppler and cardiac catheterization confirmed the clinical assessment of severe aortic stenosis with a valve area of 0.5 cm2/m2.

Design and Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering of Human Heart Valves [PDF]
, 2009 We developed a new fabrication technique for 3-dimensional scaffolds for tissue engineering of human heart valve tissue. A human aortic homograft was scanned with an X-ray computer tomograph.

Dynamic Views of Structure and Function during Heart Morphogenesis [PDF]
, 2006 Congenital heart defects remain the most common birth defect in humans, occurring in over 1% of live births. The high prevalence of cardiac malformations can be partially attributed to limited knowledge regarding the embryonic roots of the disease.

The living aortic valve: From molecules to function. [PDF]
, 2014 The aortic valve lies in a unique hemodynamic environment, one characterized by a range of stresses (shear stress, bending forces, loading forces and strain) that vary in intensity and direction throughout the cardiac cycle.

Comparative study of wall shear stress at the ascending aorta for different mechanical heart valve prostheses [PDF]
, 2019 An experimental study is reported which investigates the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a transparent model of the human aorta comparing a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) with a trileaflet mechanical heart valve (TMHV) in physiological ...

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1965 SUMMARY This paper summarizes the experience in the treatment of a series of 1,370 cases of open-heart surgery. Of these, 964 valvular lesions and the associated pathologic lesion are analyzed. Details of correction and immediate and late results in the treatment of the following groups of lesions were studied: 74 cases of congenital aortic stenosis ...
