Using MR scans and computational fluid dynamics, the authors sought to evaluate differences in flow, shear stress, and oscillatory shear stress in normal individuals and patients with 1 of 4 different categories of aortic valvular disease.  The flow patterns were patient and category specific, and may provide the ability to determine interventions on an individualized basis.
