Surgical results are excellent, but the longevity of artificial valves is very limited. Our goal was to give a retrospective overview of methods and results from the year 2000 until 2008 at Rikshospital, as well as the prospective five year follow-up of a biological valve made from bovine pericardium.

They mainly focused on the dimentionality of the learning style inventory associated with VARK. From the study it was found that there was preliminary support for the validity of the VARK scores.

There were however concerns about the scoring algorithm and item wording. As a result therefore, it was established that caution needed to be exercised whenever VARK was ...
