摘要: Our objective was to design, develop, characterize and validate a prototype device for testing the response of aortic valve tissue impact forces. With each cardiac cycle, valve, on closure, is subjected substantial force ability valvular interstitial cells withstand such forces without apoptosis has not been examined. aim correlate with apoptosis, identifying latter using terminal transferase dUTP nick end-labelling (Tunel) assay. our drop tower we created reproducible heart resulting in cellular trauma. The reliability tester design were verified results showed that normal can more than 30× greater physiological which normally exposed. This provides wide safety margin indicates bioengineered should have similar properties if it physiologic long term.
