Figure 5. Virtual Ink Clearance with Aortic Valve Closed versus Intermittent Opening.

Figure 5

Same data as in Figure 4 replotted to assess the effect of aortic valve intermittent opening on blood stagnation. (A) Simulations were conducted in the diaphragmatic configuration at a CI of 1.8 and 3.0. (B) Simulations were conducted in the apical configuration at a CI of 1.8 and 3.0. On all graphs, the percentage of initial red ink remaining was plotted as a percentage on the y-axis.
