Mechanical heart valves are vital in restoring cardiac function in patients with valvular disease, and their performance is intimately linked to fluid dynamic phenomena. In these devices, complex flow ...

A leaky heart valve means blood isn’t moving correctly through one of the heart’s four valves. This can cause complications like heart rhythm disturbances and heart failure. But treatment is usually ...

Researchers have developed a method for cheaply producing heart valves in the span of minutes that are functional immediately after being implanted into sheep. The scientists call their method ...

Groundbreaking discovery could potentially reduce multiple pediatric heart valve replacement surgeries. A groundbreaking new study led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers from both the ...

A groundbreaking new study led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers from both the College of Science and Engineering and the Medical School shows for the first time that lab-created ...

There are three types of bicuspid aortic valves — types 0, 1, and 2. Experts classify these types based on whether the leaflets of the valve have fused to form a ridge. A bicuspid aortic valve is a ...

The valves in your heart keep the blood flowing in only one direction. When a heart valve isn’t working, the blood flows in the wrong direction, making your heart work harder and reducing blood flow ...

When a heart valve is damaged or doesn’t close properly, it can cause what’s known as a “leaky valve.” Depending on the severity of the leaky valve, there are several different treatment options, ...

The Global Tricuspid Valve Repair Market is expected to reach a US$2.5 billion market by 2028. Rise in the incidence of ...
