Fluid dynamic characterization of a polymeric heart valve prototype (Poli-Valve) tested under continuous and pulsatile flow conditions. [PDF]

, 2015
PURPOSE: Only mechanical and biological heart valve prostheses are currently commercially available. The former show longer durability but require anticoagulant therapy; the latter display better fluid dynamic behavior but do not have adequate durability.

Outcomes of COMBO therapy for severe mitral regurgitation compared with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundThere are different types of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) currently in clinical use, including leaflet approximation, annular cinching, and restoration of the chordal apparatus of the mitral valve (MV).

Microfluidic Modeling of Macrophage‐Induced Cardiac Inflammation Using NF‐κB Reporter Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A cardiac inflammation model was developed to enable real‐time analysis of macrophage‐cardiomyocyte interactions using NF‐κB‐reporter cardiomyocytes and a microfluidic co‐culture system. A MATLAB‐based model was implemented to optimize cell density and medium resupply based on TNFα diffusion kinetics. Activation thresholds and stress responses in NF‐κB‐

Staphylococcal early-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis: a condition bound for surgery

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Early-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis (EO-PVE) is linked to poor in-hospital outcomes. Staphylococcus spp. poses a significant concern due to its higher mortality rates compared to other major infectious agents.

Application of a strong FSI coupling scheme for the numerical simulation of bileaflet mechanical heart valve dynamics: study of wall shear stress on the valve leaflets [PDF]

, 2012
One of the major challenges in the design of Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves (BMHVs) is reduction of the blood damage generated by non-physiological blood flow.

Smart Face Masks as Wearable Respiratory Sensors: A Review of Sensor Technologies, Materials, and Future Directions

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in smart face masks that actively monitor breathing. By integrating humidity, gas, temperature, pressure, strain, and triboelectric sensors, these masks track key respiratory parameters in real time. The article summarizes sensor mechanisms, compares performance across studies, and discusses challenges and future ...

Aneurysm formation of pericardial patch in Manouguian procedure

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2018
Pericardial patch has been used to repair cardiac defects; however, its strength as an aortoplasty patch to tolerate systemic pressure is a matter of debate. We report an aneurysmal dilatation of pericardial patch in aortoplasty.
