Abstract
Valvular insufficiencies are among the most frequent heart diseases [1][2]. Valvular flow regurgitation causes a burden of volume overload to the heart which ultimately leads to progressive heart failure [3][4][5][6]. Improved understanding of the mechanism of valvular regurgitation is of critical importance for diagnostic and therapeutic patient management [7][8].
