Table 2.

Summary of RV ejection fractions from 6 active band models compared with their corresponding passive band models. Zero-stress end of systole band length for the passive band model was 4.18 cm. The zero-stress end of systole band length for the active band models with 10%, 15% and 20% active contraction were 3.76, 3.55, and 3.34 cm, respectively. Parameter for band material: c1=900 kPa, D1=0 kPa, D2=0.
