E max, maximum free wall elastance; E min, minimum free wall elastance; V 0, pressure‐axis intercept of the pressure–volume relation; Vt  = 0, initial chamber volume; K S, source resistance coefficient; τ12, contraction/relaxation time constants; m 1/m 2, contraction/relaxation rate constants; κ, septal elastance constant (ventricular interaction via the septum); μAV, atrioventricular plane piston constant (atrioventricular interaction); t onset, onset time of contraction. Note: no pericardial constraint was applied. See Mynard and Smolich (2015) for an explanation of these parameters.
