Strategies for development of decellularized heart valve scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Biomaterials, 2022 Valvular heart diseases (VHDs) are currently treated using either mechanical or bioprosthetic heart valves. Unfortunately, mechanical valves require lifelong anticoagulation therapy, and bioprosthetic valves calcify and degrade over time, requiring ...

Eigenhearts for diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) [PDF]
, 2006 Common cardiac diseases such as cardio-myopathy, coronary artery diseases, and valve diseases, result in abnormal myocardial movement, which could eventually lead to heart failure, also called congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a disease in which the

Mixed Valvular Disease Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Quantification and Systematic Differentiation Using Clinical Measurements and Image-Based Patient‐Specific In Silico Modeling [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Mixed valvular disease (MVD), mitral regurgitation (MR) from pre‐existing disease in conjunction with paravalvular leak (PVL) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is one of the most important stimuli for left ventricle (LV)

New Insights into Valve Hemodynamics
Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2020 Heart valve diseases are common disorders with five million annual diagnoses being made in the United States alone. All heart valve disorders alter cardiac hemodynamic performance; therefore, treatments aim to restore normal flow.
