A three-dimensional finite element model was used to explore whether or not transmural distributions of end-diastolic and end-systolic fiber stress are uniform from the apex to the base of the canine left ventricular wall. An elastance model for active fiber stress was incorporated in an axisymmetric model that accurately represented the geometry and fiber angle distribution of the anterior free wall. The nonlinear constitutive equation for the resting myocardium was transversely isotropic with respect to the local fiber axis. Read more »
