Talk abstract:
Effects of Mitral Apparatus Geometry on Mitral Flow and Leaflet
Motion: A Computer Study
Beth Feller Printz, Beth Feller Printz
The two-dimensional computational heart model using the immersed
boundary method is modified to explore the mechanisms of mitral
valve prolapse, mitral valve regurgitation, and changes in
diastolic transmitral flow patterns.
This is just one example of the utility of computer modeling in
exploring the pathophysiology of valve function.
