LEGEND; . Parametric variation of the left ventricle (LV)-systemic circulation model parameters from their baseline values (Tables A1 and A2) and their effect on the percentage change in stroke volume (SV), end-diastolic volume (VLVEDV), systolic pressure (PLVsys), mean aortic pressure (P¯aor), pulse pressure (ΔPaor), and pressure volume loop area (PVA) from their baseline values of 57 mL, 112 mL, 135 mmHg, 112 mmHg, 30 mmHg, and 0.97 Pa·m3, respectively. A, elastic modulus; b, sarcomere relaxation rate; Cart, aortic compliance; ef0, fiber orientation; LV, left ventricle; Rper, peripheral vascular resistance; Tmax, isometric tension under maximal activation; Vven0, resting venous volume
