Abstract

In the last few years, the development of new techniques enabling visualization and quantification of flow behavior inside cardiac chambers has increased the interest in flow mechanics, blood-tissue interaction, and the potential application of these new data to diagnosis and guidance of treatment. Several studies have focused on flow dynamics inside the left ventricle and a differential aspect in it: the vortex ring. In this article, we briefly describe the key role of the mitral valve on the generation of physiologic flow dynamics. We also review how mitral valve disease and its treatment can influence the distribution of flow inside the left ventricle and its potential clinical impact.
