Energy loss associated with in-vitro modeling of mitral annular calcification.

Author(s): Wiener PC, Darwish A, Friend E, Kadem L, Pressman GS

INTRODUCTION: Study aims were to compare hemodynamics and viscous energy dissipation (VED) in 3D printed mitral valves-one replicating a normal valve and the other a valve with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC). Patients with severe MAC develop tran...

Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Analysis of the Flow Downstream of a Dysfunctional Bileaflet Mechanical Aortic Valve.

Author(s): Darwish A, Di Labbio G, Saleh W, Kadem L

PURPOSE: Aortic valve replacement remains the only viable solution for symptomatic patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Despite their improved design and long history of successful operation, bileaflet mechanical heart valves are still associated wit...

Impact of Mitral Regurgitation on the Flow in a Model of a Left Ventricle.

Author(s): Papolla C, Darwish A, Kadem L, Rieu R

PURPOSE: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common valve disease in industrialized countries. Despite its high prevalence, little is known about its impact on the flow dynamics in the left ventricle (LV). Because of the interdependence between val...
