| Abstract | Studies have concluded that the shape of the human mitral valve annulus is a three-dimensional saddle. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a saddle shaped annulus on chordal force distribution and mitral valve function. Eleven human mitral valves were studied in a physiological left heart simulator with a variable shaped annulus (flat versus saddle). Cardiac output and transmitral pressure were analyzed to determine mitral regurgitation volume. In six experiments, force transducers were placed on six chordae tendineae to measure chordal force distribution. Valves were tested in normal and pathophysiologic papillary muscle positions. When comparing the flat and saddle shaped configurations, there was no significant difference in mitral regurgitation volume 11.2% ± 24.7% (p=0.17). In the saddle shaped configuration, the tension on the anterior strut chord was reduced 18.5% #x00B1 16.1% (p < 0.02), the tension on the posterior intermediate chord increased 22.3% #x00B1 17.1% (p < 0.03), and the tension of the commissural chord increased 59.0% #x00B1 32.2% (p < 0.01). Annular shape also altered the tensions on the remaining chords. Annular shape alone does not significantly affect mitral regurgitation caused by papillary muscle displacement. A saddle shaped annulus redistributes the forces on the chords by altering coaptation geometry, leading to an optimally balanced anatomic/physiologic configuration. © 2003 Biomedical Engineering Society.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
