Table III. Results for whole cycle simulations.
The left-most column indicates the number of simulations that complete successfully to end isovolumetric relaxation. Letters in the other columns indicate the number of meshes for which the simulation failed to converge in a certain cardiac phase, and match those from Figure 5. For the stabilization we use κ = 5 PCav, and for ‘Non-Decreasing’ entries we do not allow κ to decrease during the simulation.
