Contractility differences for maintaining normal RVEF. Because models in pressure overload conditions (RVPO) change volume against higher pressures, contractility values are larger than in the normal simulations. However, modifying the models to include longitudinal alignment (L) results in a small, but consistent reduction in contractility compared to the baseline fiber orientation (B).
