Tabluation of maximum and minimum principal stress and strain in parametric analysis.

Comparison of regional wall mechanics between the baseline heart failure case, the nominal compression case and the parametric variation of applied forces corresponding with Table 2 and Fig 5. The maxmimum and minimal principal stresses and strains at the nodes indicated in Fig 1C are shown. B1a and B1b are the epicardial and endocardial nodes at the ventricular base; C1a and C1b are epicardial and endocardial nodes near the center of the compression zone; C2a and C2b are epicardial and endocardial nodes at the apical end of the compression zone.
