Marcos Aponte, a 23-year-old with diastrophic dysplasia, requires a ventilator to breathe and thus depends on electricity. Post-Hurricane Maria, he and his mother sought a reliable power source, leading them to Nancy Mejías' nursing home, Hogar Dulce Vida. Despite promises from officials, a generator has not been provided. María Inés Rosario raised $500 for a generator, but faced challenges delivering it to Aibonito due to damaged roads. Aponte currently has access to electricity but seeks a permanent solution.

A fully-coupled fluid-structure interaction framework combining smoothed particle hydrodynamics and nonlinear finite element method was developed to investigate the aortic and mitral valves' structural response and intraventricular hemodynamics in a realistic left ventricle model. The model incorporated native asymmetric leaflet geometries, anisotropic hyperelastic material models, and human material properties. Results showed reasonable agreement with subject-specific echocardiography data, demonstrating the framework's potential to model patient-specific left ventricle-valve dynamics, enhancing understanding of cardiovascular physiology and aiding clinical decision-making.
