Der Mechanismus der halbmondformigen Herzklappen.

Leipzig: S. Hirzel, 1872.
Using an excised pig heart preparation with tubes, a manometer, and a visualizing apparatus, Ceradini working in Carl Ludwig’s laboratory, illustrated  the mechanism of closure of the semilunar valves. He was the first to conceive that the closure of the heart valves depends not on a static back pressure, nor upon eddies, but is primarily the consequence  of the decelerated systolic efflux. See Troiani and Manni, "The work of Giulio Ceradini explaining the mechanism of semilunar cardiac valve function," Advf. Phsiol. Educ., 35 (2011) 110-113).
