The mechanical behavior of calf pericardium employed in the manufacture of cardiac bioprostheses was assessed according to the region from which it was selected. For this purpose, selected samples of the tissue were sewn with different types of commercially available sutures and subjected to tensile
## Abstract The mechanical behavior of the young bull pericardium in a fatigue test has been studied. This material is a similar tissue to those used in valve leaflet construction for a cardiac bioprosthesis. The consumed energy on each test was evaluated and afterwards used as a predictor of the b
An elastance-resistance model has long been used to assess the systolic mechanical behavior of the ventricular pump under an in situ, open-chest experiment. However, there is difficulty in the clinical application of such a model because of the required isovolumetric signal that is obtained by occlu
