Heart Valve Transplants The heart‚ the most important organ in the body‚ plays a vital role in a supplying the body with all of the nutrients needed. Not only does the heart pump blood through the body‚ but it also carries oxygen to help the body function correctly and it allows for the removal of waste product. Because the heart is so essential to human body‚ its structure and function is equally as important. The heart is designed to pump blood through its chambers. The top two chambers

States alone. Essentially it is a faulty heart valve‚ particularly the mitral valve (hence the name). Because of this valve’s malfunction‚ when the heart normally contracts to pump blood through the body‚ the mitral valve slips back into place too fragile. In direct opposition to this condition is mitral valve stenosis that is when the mitral valve is too rigid and not flexible enough. Basically‚ the problem with mitral valve prolapse is that the mitral valve is just too flexible. While the

CEE 320 Fluid Mechanics Lab Head Loss Through a Valve April 24‚ 2012 Abstract This experiment determined the relationship between the head loss through a gate valve and the degree of opening of that valve with varying flow rates. The objective of this experiment was to determine the valve loss coefficient‚ K‚ for a specific gate valve as a function of both the pipe Reynolds Number‚ and the degree of opening. The relationship between the Reynolds Number and the friction factor was

tissue-engineered heart valve that combines a patient’s cells with metal alloy for more durability and possibly less complications which should be ready for use in about 10 to 15 years. The existing valve replacements are either mechanical or bioprosthetic which have great long-term risks of blood clots‚ stroke‚ clots in the artery‚ bleeding from the medicine to prevent artery clots‚ and limited durability. The current tissue oriented valves are meant to degrade the scaffold which can cause valve failure. The
