Transient Hemodynamic Changes upon Changing a BCPA into a TCPC in Staged Fontan Operation: A Computational Model Study

Figure 2

Modeled elastance curve (𝐸(𝑡)) of the left ventricle compared with in vivo data (mean ± SD) under resting conditions (heart rate = 75 beats/min). Here, the elastance is normalized by its peak value and time is normalized by the time interval from the beginning of ventricular contraction to the arrival of the peak elastance.
