From: From unicuspid to quadricuspid: the impact of aortic valve morphology on 3D hemodynamics

Figure 1

Relationships between valve morphology, 3D flow patterns in ascending aorta distal to the aortic valve (AV) and segmental systolic WSS distribution. The segmental WSS distribution represents the average over all subjects for each type of leaflet morphology. Note the different systolic AV outflow flow jet patterns and wall impingement zones which correspond to variable WSS eccentricity and regional peak systolic WSS between different valve groups.
