The video on this website provides very interesting information about heart valves. Prosthetic heart valves are artificial valves designed to replication the function of natural heart valves by maintaining blood flow. The video goes into depth about the development of and improvement of heart valves over the years. The video also has information about the technical details of heart valves.
