Finite element model creation. (A) A self polymerizing CT dense polymer, Microfil is microinjected into heart lumen. (B) 3D datasets generated via Micro-CT are meshed with GAMBİT. (C) Ventricles, cushions and outflow regions are isolated for each stage studied. Cushion regions where the WSS was traced: Right-Inflow regions are in red, Left-Inflow regions are in blue, Right-Outflow regions are in green, and Left-Outflow regions are in Purple. Trace colors match plot colors in Figures 5, 6, 9 and 10. Dotted Red Line – Mid-Cushion, separating inflow and outflow regions, V – Ventricle, P – Proximal cushions, D – Distal cushions, RV – Right ventricle, LV – Left ventricle, RVOFT – Right ventricular outflow tract, LVOFT – Left ventricular outflow tract
