Elastin-Dependent Aortic Heart Valve Leaflet Curvature Changes During Cyclic Flexure

The progression of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, leading to structural abnormalities and improper valve function. The focus of the present study was to relate aortic valve leaflet axial curvature changes as a function of elastin degra...
