[Evaluation of the force loads on the elements of artificial heart valves from the results of processing
Abstract:
Approaches to further improving the valve prosthesis construction greatly depend on the knowledge of the physical load affecting the elements of artificial cardiac valves that operate in the human organism. An analysis of echocardiograms is given. They were recorded in the patients with implanted artificial ball heart valves, type MK4-2.25. The design values for the force of the ball impact against the valve shell are presented. The echocardiogram analysis revealed a phenomenon of the fibrotic ring deformation under the ball action on the valve shell and the degree of this deformation has been determined.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
