Circumferential, longitudinal, and transverse strains along the endocardium, epicardium, and midwall in the idealized left ventricle model for A, passive inflation and B, active contraction. Strains are plotted at selected points running from apex to base. See Land et al45 for additional details on the positions of the sample points. The computed strains are in excellent agreement (within 1% with consensus results obtained by other structural mechanics codes using the same model45
