摘要:
A method for characterizing cardiac valves and prostheses. A method includes inducing cardiac stress. Transvalvular pressure gradient and transvalvular flow are measured while the stress is being induced. Valve function is determined based on the measured transvalvular pressure gradient and transvalvular flow. In some implementations, a transcatheter aortic valve implantation is performed responsive to the determination of valve function.
