Parameter values and definitions for the time-varying elastance constitutive model.

Active Parameters Value Description
t0 120 [ms] Time to reach peak tension after the initiation of active tension
m 1048.9 [s μm−1] Governs the slope of the relaxation
b −1.7 [s] Governs the length of relaxation
l0 1.58 [μm] The sarcomere length below which no active force develops
B 4,750 [μm−1] Governs the shape of the peak isometric tension-sarcomere length relation
Ca0 4.35 [μM] The peak intercellular calcium concentration
Ca0max 4.35 [μM] The maximum intercellular calcium concentration
Tmax 170.0 [kPa] The maximum active tension able to develop
lr 1.85 [μm] The initial sarcomere length
