Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An analysis of the function of heart valves in the cardiac cycle is made. The function of the valves on the left side of the heart is reviewed, which shows schematically the pressures, flows, and valve positions of the nitral (inflow) and aortic (outflow) valves of the left ventricle.
