Figure 5From: Passive and active ventricular elastances of the left ventricleThe data of figure 2 is fitted with equation (8). When the patient data of Figure 2 is fitted with equation (8), the resulting parameters values are obtained as: Ea 0= 1.48 mmHg/ml, Ï„ C = 0.1555 s, Z C = 1.631, d = 0.28 s, Ï„ R = 0.07935 s, Z R = 2.267 s, Ea,17= 1.1 mmHg/ml, RMS = 0.026 mmHg/ml.Back to article page
