Abstract:

The hemodynamical features of artificial heart valve can influence the life span of the valve in the host, and is highly correlated with its biocompatibility. This paper introduced the methods and indexes to measure hemodynamics of artificial heart valve, and factors that influence the hemodynamics. In addition, the problems in this field were discussed to aid the selection of appropriate artificial heart valves for patients.
