Model simulation results of the LV remodeling process with aging based on the model equations and the flow chart (see equations 1-6 and Figure 5). (A) LV end-diastolic pressure changes with age. The change in pressure was assumed to be the driving force for the remodeling (see text for details); (B) Collagen volume ratio changes with aging; (C) End diastolic LV dimension (radius) changes with age; (D) LV wall mechanical stress changes with age; and (E) Young's modulus changes with age. See Table 3 for initial input values used in the simulation.
