Results shown for duration of ejection, peak systolic pressure (SP), end systolic pressure (ESP) and stroke volume (SV). The magnitude of parameter variation is based on how constrained it is given available data, and generally taken in the direction to increase duration of ejection. See Tables S1 and S2 in the Supplemental Material for detailed results.
