Table 1.

Summary of RV ejection fractions (RVEF) from 5 models: No-band solid-only and FSI models and 3 passive band models with band stiffness variations. Stiffer band provided slightly lower ejection fraction. RVEF rates from all passive band models were about 4–5% lower than the no-band model. Mooney Rivlin model parameters for the 3 band stiffness variations were given in Fig. 4.
