Abstract

THE exploitation of trapped vortices and flow deceleration by the aortic valve to ensure maximum efficiency and to make possible laminar flow1,2 suggests a similar mechanism for the atrio-ventricular valves. These are the inlet valves to the two ventricles, the mitral valve on the left side and the tricuspid valve on the right.
