Figure 4. Evolution of local (left) and global (right) LV function in SIT simulation MID during the reorientation process.

Figure 4

Local function is presented by means and standard deviations (SD) of variables natural myofiber strain during isovolumic contraction Inline graphic, during ejection Inline graphic, during isovolumic relaxation Inline graphic, and stroke work density Inline graphic. The values were calculated from the grey area indicated in the long-axis cross-section of the LV mesh (mid). Global function is presented by maximum LV pressure Inline graphic and stroke volume Inline graphic.
