Valve Interstitial Cells: The Key to Understanding the Pathophysiology of Heart Valve Calcification
Aortic valve stenosis due to calcification of the valve leaflets is the most common valve disease in the developed world. It is the third leading cause of cardiovascular disease.[1][1] Risk factors include male gender, smoking, diabetes mellitus ...

Recellularization of decellularized heart valves: Progress toward the tissue-engineered heart valve
The tissue-engineered heart valve portends a new era in the field of valve replacement. Decellularized heart valves are of great interest as a scaffold for the tissue-engineered heart valve due to their naturally bioactive composition, clinical relevance

Generic, simple risk stratification model for heart valve surgery [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Heart valve surgery has an associated in-hospital mortality rate of 4% to 8%. This study aims to develop a simple risk model to predict the risk of in-hospital mortality for patients undergoing heart valve surgery to provide information to ...

Hemodynamic and thrombogenic analysis of a trileaflet polymeric valve using a fluid-structure interaction approach [PDF]
Surgical valve replacement in patients with severe calcific aortic valve disease using either bioprosthetic or mechanical heart valves is still limited by structural valve deterioration for the former and thrombosis risk mandating anticoagulant therapy ...

Collagen birefringence assessment in heart chordae tendineae through PS-OCT [PDF]
Degenerative mitral regurgitation is a serious and frequent human heart valve disease. Malfunctioning of this valve brings the left-sided heart through a significant increase of pressure and volume overload.

Innovative Modeling of Outcome in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]
In the normal heart both left and right ventricle have a valve at the atrio-ventricular connection and at the ventriculo-arterial connection. In the left ventricle the inflow valve is the mitral valve and the outflow valve is the aortic valve.
