摘要：
A heart valve prosthesis is proposed, including a housing, at least one leaflet installed within the housing, at least one sensor and/or valve performance monitoring device. The sensor and/or monitoring device is built into the housing and/or leaflet. In an embodiment, the housing and/or leaflet has an oscillating circuit including an inductor coil connected to the sensor and/or monitoring device. One such coil can be built into the housing, and another coil can be built into the leaflet. In another embodiment, one coil can be built into a first leaflet, and another coil can be built into a second leaflet, wherein the sensor and/or monitoring device determines a degree of opening/closing the leaflets by measuring inductive interconnection between the coils, and operation timing characteristics of the valve. In an embodiment, the valve may include an emission sensor disposed within the leaflet and/or housing capable of detecting the valve's open/closed positions.
