Table 1.

Parameteric study. The table shows the simulation output for different parameter settings. The control simulations both with and without the pericardium are shown in the gray rows. Left ventricle (LV); right ventricle (RV); ejection fraction (EF); peak pressure (PP), atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) (positive means downwards); ventricular apex displacement (VAD) (positive means upwards); isovolumic contraction (IVC); ejection (Ej); fibre active stress (T_f); duration of contraction (${\tau }_{\mathrm{dur}}$); transverse active stress (T_sn); aortic resistance (Z); end-diastolic pressure (EDP); aortic pressure (P_Ao); veins omni-directional spring stiffness (k) in kPa mm⁻¹; pericardium normal spring stiffness (k_n) in kPa mm⁻¹.
