Development of an in vivo method for determining material properties of passive myocardium

Calculation of mechanical stresses and strains in the left ventricular (LV) myocardium by the finite element (FE) method relies on adequate knowledge of the material properties of myocardial tissue. In this paper we present a model-based estimation procedure to characterize the stress-strain relatio...
