A Computational Framework for Atrioventricular Valve Modeling using Open-Source Software [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Atrioventricular valve regurgitation is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with acquired and congenital cardiac valve disease. Image-derived computational modeling of atrioventricular valves has advanced substantially over the last decade and holds particular promise to inform valve repair in small and heterogeneous populations ...

ABO AND RH BLOOD GROUPS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, FROM IRAN [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 1992 ABO and Rh blood groups were studied in a total of 1680 patients with cardiovascular diseases (congenital n=547, valvular n=887 and coronary n=246). Statistical analysis (X2and Woolf’s Test) showed significant excess of B/O in mitral valve, aortic valve ...

Hemodynamics of a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve with Different Levels of Dysfunction [PDF]
Volume 2 Issue 5 - 2017, 2017 Heart disease is one of leading causes of mortality worldwide. Healthy heart valves are key for proper heart function. When these valves dysfunction, a replacement is often necessary in severe cases. The current study presents an investigation of the pulsatile blood flow through a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) where one leaflet is healthy and

NRC-Net: Automated noise robust cardio net for detecting valvular cardiac diseases using optimum transformation method with heart sound signals [PDF]
, 2023 Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) can be effectively treated when detected early, reducing mortality rates significantly. Traditionally, phonocardiogram (PCG) signals have been utilized for detecting cardiovascular disease due to their cost-effectiveness and simplicity. Nevertheless, various environmental and physiological noises frequently affect the PCG

Dynamic simulation of aortic valve stenosis using a lumped parameter cardiovascular system model with flow regime dependent valve pressure loss characteristics [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Valvular heart diseases are growing concern in impoverished parts of the world, such as Southern-Africa, claiming more than 31 % of total deaths related to cardiovascular diseases. The ability to model the effects of regurgitant and obstructive lesions on the valve body can assist clinicians in preparing personalised treatments.

Fabrication and In Vitro Characterization of a Tissue Engineered PCL-PLLA Heart Valve
Scientific Reports, 2018 Heart valve diseases are among the leading causes of cardiac failure around the globe. Nearly 90,000 heart valve replacements occur in the USA annually. Currently, available options for heart valve replacement include bioprosthetic and mechanical valves,

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of left valvular heart diseases during atrial fibrillation [PDF]
PeerJ, 4: e2240, 2016, 2016 Although atrial fibrillation (AF), a common arrhythmia, frequently presents in patients with underlying valvular disease, its hemodynamic contributions are not fully understood. The present work aimed to computationally study how physical conditions imposed by pathologic valvular anatomy act on AF hemodynamics.

An Overview of Sport Participation and Exercise Prescription in Mitral Valve Disease
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023 The incidence of heart valve disease (HVD) has been rising over the last few decades, mainly due to the increasing average age of the general population, and mitral valve (MV) disease is the second most prevalent HVD after calcific aortic stenosis, but ...
