Model suggests efficiency rises with LV thickness and contractility; leaves open validation and clinical relevance.
A computational model demonstrates that left ventricular pumping efficiency increases with greater wall thickness and muscle fiber contractility, while diastolic pressure-volume relations remain relatively insensitive to fiber orientation or thickness.
A. Zeren (1983) studied this question.
