Abstract
A series of two axisymmetric finite element models of left ventricular mechanics is presented: a deformation model and a perfusion model. The deformation model computes variations of stress, strain and intramyocardial pressure during the cardiac cycle. The intramyocardial pressure field computed by the deformation model is substituted as an extravascular pressure in a coronary perfusion model. Computed strain, pressure and flow are compared with experimental data from the literature.
