Assessment of calcified aortic valve leaflet deformations and blood flow dynamics using fluid-structure interaction modeling

Assessment of calcified aortic valve leaflet deformations and blood flow dynamics using fluid-structure interaction modeling

Aortic valve diseases are among the most common cardiovascular defects. Since a non-functioning valve results in disturbed blood flow conditions, the diagnosis of such defects is based on identification of stenosis via echocardiography. Calculation of disease parameters such as valve orifice area or...
