Abstract

To Determine the major factor which causes the accelerated calcification of the severe flexing area of the artificial heart sac, comparative study under well defined in vitro situation were carried out. The results show that the effect of static mechanical stress is not so important. According to the data, change of surface area caused by the applied mechanical stress is one of the important factors of the heavy calcification of the severe flexing area of the artificial heart sac.
