Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Morten Ø. Jensen's research focuses on cardiovascular engineering, with a specific emphasis on developing and testing medical devices and models for studying heart conditions. His work includes the creation of custom wall-less cardiovascular flow phantoms using tissue-mimicking gels to simulate physiological conditions. He has investigated the development of in vitro models for the mitral valve, utilizing vacuum-assisted closure to enable static trans-mitral pressure measurements. Jensen has also explored the hemodynamic flow within the aortic vessel, including numerical studies related to congenital heart disease.

His research extends to the assessment of nanoparticle toxicity in cardiomyocytes, examining the influence of size, concentration, and exposure time. Additionally, he has contributed to research on blood clot formation and dissolution for the evaluation of stroke treatment devices, as well as investigating the relationship between the sinotubular junction-to-aortic annulus ratio and the severity of supravalvar aortic stenosis. Jensen's work also touches upon the effects of anesthetics on peripheral venous pressure waveforms.

With an h-index of 19 and over 124 publications, Jensen has a notable record of scholarly output. He is a principal investigator on federal grants and collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sam E. Stephens, Hanna Jensen, Paul C. Millett, and Jingxian Wu.
