Effect of Parametric Variation of Chordae Tendineae Structure on Simulated Atrioventricular Valve Closure

Purpose: Many approaches have been used to model chordae tendineae geometries in finite element simulations of atrioventricular heart valves. Unfortunately, current "functional" chordae tendineae geometries lack fidelity (e.g., branching) that would be helpful when informing clin...
