Characterization of aging-associated cardiac diastolic dysfunction.

<h4>Aims</h4>Diastolic dysfunction is common in geriatric heart failure. A reliable parameter to predict myocardium stiffness and relaxation under similar end-diastolic pressure is being developed. We propose a material and mathematical model for calculating myocardium stiffness based on...
