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 ...

Surgery is usually the best fix for a severe heart valve disease. Different types of heart valve blockages can happen, and surgery is necessary to fix these problems. Your heart is split into four ...

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 ...

Heart valves allow blood to flow one way and prevent it from flowing in the wrong direction. The tricuspid valve controls blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle. The bicuspid or ...

Georgia Tech researchers have developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed, bioresorbable heart valve that promotes tissue regeneration, potentially eliminating the need for repeated surgeries and offering a ...

While a person may need medication or surgery to manage heart valve disease, incorporating exercise into a treatment plan can offer additional benefits. It can increase heart function and fitness.

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 ...

Doctors recently completed the first transcatheter treatment of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) using the CroíValve Duo Adapt ...
