Subject-specific values of the passive and active material parameters
| VA1 | VA2 | VA3 | VA4 | VA5 | Average | SD | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C0, kPa | 0.117 | 0.121 | 0.105 | 0.107 | 0.123 | 0.115 | 0.00817 |
| B0 | 12.4 | 15.0 | 18.3 | 16.0 | 10.1 | 14.4 | 3.18 |
| Tmax, kPa | 130 | 149 | 148 | 132 | 155 | 143 | 11.1 |
Parameters were calibrated so as to match end-diastole volumes and pressures and to minimize the distance of the pressure-volume relationship to the Klotz curve (for passive parameters), and so as to match end-systole volumes and pressures (for active parameters). VA1–VA5, subjects 1–5; C0, scaling factor; B0, factor that determines the level of nonlinearity of the stress-strain relationship; Tmax, factor that reflects the overall contractility of the myocardial tissue.
