Journal ArticleDOI
The Björk-Shiley aortic prosthesis: flow characteristics, thrombus formation and tissue overgrowth.
TL;DR: Thrombus formation and tissue overgrowth were observed in nine Bjork-Shiley aortic prostheses recovered six months or longer after implantation, attributed to the flow characteristics of the prosthesis and the low shear in the minor outflow region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pressure drops across prosthetic aortic heart valves under steady and pulsatile flow--in vitro measurements.
TL;DR: The experimental results and the theory developed indicate that for a given aortic valve it is possible to predict peak systolic and mean syStolic pressure drops from experimental pressure drop data for steady flow in the same channel.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro velocity measurements in the vicinity of aortic prostheses
TL;DR: In the near vicinity of the aortic prostheses, maximum values of bulk-turbulent-shear stresses estimated from turbulence-intensity measurements and simple flow models were in the range of 10 2 –10 3 dyn/cm 2, which could damage red-blood cells and platelets and lead to thrombus formation with pulsatile flow.

TL;DR: The first heart sound of 29 normal, young males, recorded at the apex of the heart, was analysed for the power content as a function of frequency using the technique of the fast Fourier transform to increase the clinical importance of phonocardiography.
