Unified left ventricular-aortic valve (LV-AV) model geometry: A) schematic showing the LV-AV assembly, the fluid domain and the bounding fictitious solid shell geometry, B) left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) geometries with the three aortoseptal angle (AoSA) configurations considered in this study (CTRL: unobstructed LVOT; DSS: LVOT anatomy obstructed with subaortic lesion), and C) AV geometry, leaflet opening angle (θ), and wall shear stress (WSS) characterization sites
