Synergistic effects of local temperature enhancements on cellular responses in the context of high-intensity, ultrashort electric pulses.

abstract：:A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital cardiac disorder where the valve consists of only two cusps instead of three, as in a normal tricuspid valve (TAV). Although 97 % of BAVs include asymmetric cusps, little or no prior studies have investigated the blood flow through a three-dimensional BAV and root. The aim...
