Schematic representation of the forces acting on the aortic valve during pulsatile blood flow and remodeling of fibrous matrix by cells of aortic valve under the influence of blood shear for open and closed state along with the factors responsible for the balanced state (a) representation of valve in frontal plane, (b) transverse cross-section view of blood vessel, (c) longitudinal cross-section view of the blood vessel, (d) fibrous matrix remodeling by cells and (e) balancing of factors while developing TEHVs
