Sentence examples for leaflet thickness from inspiring English sources

Leaflet thickness was greater and chordae thickness lower in BD than FED (P < 0.0001).

The leaflet thickness was found to significantly affect the hydrodynamics of these valves (P<0.01).

DCD engineered valve characterization included: leaflet thickness, biaxial properties, bending properties, and quantitative structural analysis of multi-photon and scanning electron micrographs.

To model normal/uncomplicated aging, leaflet thickness and extensibility are varied versus age according to experimental data.

20 25 Leaflet thickness and area increase in response to abnormal loading with increased tension during systole 21 through greater expression of collagen and aminoglycosans rendering them less compliant.

Thickness changes in membranes can be caused either by conformational changes in individual lipids tilting or folding up, reducing individual leaflet thickness, or by increased interdigitation of the lipids in each leaflet allowing closer apposition of the leaflets.

Nine valves of three leaflet thicknesses (100, 150 and 200 μm) and 21 mm internal diameter were prepared using an automated dip-coating procedure, and assessed in vitro for their hydrodynamic performance on a pulse duplicator system.

Therefore, to simplify calculations we completely decouple electrostatically the two membrane interfaces, and treat the lipid slab as a leaflet of thickness d = 10 Å (Fig. 1).

Intraoperative diagnosis of BD or FED was based on leaflet redundancy and thickness, number of segments involved, and annular dimension.

Geometrical parameters are obtained from Driessen et al. (2005b) and the radius and thickness of the leaflets are set to 12 and 0.46 mm, respectively.

At the same time, the average thickness where both leaflets are ordered increases, reaching ∼45 Å. Examining the distribution of bilayer thicknesses clearly shows the bimodal behaviour (Fig. 5c) and further suggests that the Lo and Ld domains get thicker or thinner, respectively, as the simulations progress and they get larger.
