Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Morten Ø. Jensen's research focuses on cardiovascular engineering, with a particular emphasis on the biomechanics and modeling of the mitral valve. He has investigated the morphology and mechanisms of mitral valve disease, contributing to a better understanding of its progression. His work includes the design and analysis of annuloplasty rings, exploring how factors like ring shape and annular force influence device performance and potential complications such as dehiscence.

Jensen has utilized computational modeling, including fluid-structure interaction analyses, to study forces within the mitral valve system, such as papillary muscle forces. He has also developed and improved in vitro methods for quantifying forces related to the mitral valve and its supporting structures. His research extends to the geometric distribution of chordae tendineae and its role in mitral valve function. Jensen has received federal funding for his work, including grants from the NIH/National Heart Lung and Blood Institute for enhancing a heart valve surgical planning tool and from the NSF for a pediatric breath practice spirometry device. He is a member of the ARA Academy and has a significant publication record with an h-index of 20 and over 1,600 citations.
