Average effective stress values within the posterior and anterior leaflets at several key locations.

Location within leaflets Stress in baseline case, C = 3.6 kPa Stress in case with decreased infarct stiffness C = 0.3 kPa
Center of anterior leaflet 119 kPa 129 kPa
Posterior leaflet near the gap 116 kPa 123 kPa
Anterior leaflet near the gap 58 kPa 62 kPa
