Fig. 4.

Mitral valve stress and strain responses: (a) stress profile on the mitral valve at steady-state, (b) strain profile on the mitral valve at steady-state, (c) stress responses with coarse, medium, and fine meshes (shaded areas indicate standard deviations), (d) strain responses with coarse, medium, and fine meshes (shaded areas indicate standard deviations), (e) 95th percentile 1st principal stress responses on various mitral valve regions, and (f) 95th percentile 1st strain responses on various mitral valve regions. Results suggested that the anterior leaflet experiences higher stress and strain concentrations than the posterior leaflet.
