Figure E6.

Detailed leaflet kinematics obtained from the computational model with different leaflet thicknesses. Time series of leaflet cross sections (see Figure 1, C) for different valve thicknesses for a fixed valve diameter (25 mm) described in Figure 6. Red boxes indicate the times when the peak tip displacement of the leaflet occurs. The valve with the thickest leaflets (0.6 mm) shows more frequent leaflet bending than the thinnest leaflets (0.2 mm).
