Model for computing motion of mechanical heart-valve leaflets developed
Published in Medical Letter on the CDC and FDA, December 7th, 2003
According to recent research published in the journal Annals of Biomedical Engineering, "The speed of mechanical heart-valve leaflets is known to be an important quantity for predicting cavitation, yet no simple computational means exists for predicting the leaflet speed. In this study, a model for simulating the motion of heart-valve leaflets in rigid test systems is presented."
"The input for the simulations is the ventricular pressure trace, readily measured in heart-valve tests," reported Matthew R. Myers and Jeffrey M....
