Abstract
An expression for the energy of motion of the wall of the left ventricle is developed. A cylinderical model is assumed for the left ventricle, and symmetry is used to produce the problem to a two-dimensional problem. Result obtained indicate that consideration of the energy of motion can be useful in problems of clinical diagnosis. Some correlation between previously published experimental results is also made with the equations derived in this paper.Mesh:
