| Abstract: | The left ventricle is modelled as a prolate spheroid of viscoelastic material with an aim to demonstrate the qualitative effects
of anistropy and nonhomogeneity in the calculation of intact ventricular wall stresses. The pericardial pressure is accounted
for in the analysis and an attempt is made to examine to what extent this influences the ventricular stresses. Numerical results
are also obtained by computing the analytical expressions derived through the analysis. |
