Table 1.

Comparison of ejection fraction and stroke volume for five cases considered. Case 1: the healthy RV; Case 2: the diseased RV needing surgery; Cases 3–5: different patch choices leading to various degrees of RV function recovery.

Cases considered: Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 Case 4 Case 5
Normal Tissue Scar+old Patch New Patch Small Patch Soft Patch
Ejection Fraction (%) 52.7 44.9 47.7 48.6 50.5
EF Recovery 100% 0% 35% 49% 72%
Stroke volume (ml) 39.7 28.5 32.2 33.5 36.4
SV Recovery 100% 0% 33% 45% 71%
