RCSI researchers create first synthetic mitral valve model mimicking natural heart mechanics
Summary
Researchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed the first synthetic mitral valve model that accurately replicates the complex mechanical behavior of the human heart's mitral valve. The mitral valve opens and closes approximately 100,000 times daily, and this artificial model aims to help researchers better understand valve disease and develop new treatment approaches for heart conditions.

· 3 pulledThe mitral valve opens and closes around 100,000 times each day, making its mechanical properties critical to healthy heart function.
When the valve does not work properly, blood can leak backwards through the heart in a condition known as mitral regurgitation.
The study could help researchers better understand valve disease and develop new treatment approaches.
