An inverse finite element method for determining the tissue compressibility of human left ventricular wall during the cardiac cycle.

The determination of the myocardium's tissue properties is important in constructing functional finite element (FE) models of the human heart. To obtain accurate properties especially for functional modeling of a heart, tissue properties have to be determined in vivo. At present, there are only...
