摘要
The fluid mechanics of heart-valve motion is investigated experimentally and theoretically. From the experiments, it is found that the principal mechanism ensuring optimal mitral-valve closure is the pressure field induced by a strong flow deceleration through the valve. A complete theory, evolved from the Bellhouse & Talbot analytical model, is developed for both the mitral and the aortic valve to provide a relationship between valve motion and valve flow. Results predicted by this theory agree consistently well with those obtained from experiments. © 1979, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
