Study the Heart Valve Elasticity and Optimal of Vortex Formation for Blood Circulation Measurement on the Left Ventricle Using the Heart Simulator (Heart-S) Apparatus

Abstract

Modeling of heart simulator gives a better understanding of blood circulation and the figure of the heart valve's movement as well as the fluid flow movement in the heart chamber. In this study, the relationship between heart valve elasticity and the angle of the heart valve position to the heart valve opening width were investigated. Also, the optimal of vortex formation was observed by using the heart simulator (Heart-S) apparatus on the left ventricle during the cardiac cycle. The result shows good relation on heart valve elasticity and the angle of the heart valve position to the valve opening. The optimal of vortex formation in the heart chamber also clearly observed.
