“…In clinical conditions, several factors contribute to the development of HFpEF (Bench et al, 2009; Shah and Solomon, 2012; Sengupta and Marwick, 2018). These factors include abnormalities in both the systolic and the diastolic mechanics of the LV (MacIver and Townsend, 2008; MacIver, 2009; Shah and Solomon, 2012), the LV hypertrophy and geometric changes (Aurigemma et al, 1995; Vasan et al, 1999; Adeniran et al, 2015) and material properties of the LV (stiffness). A recent study employed computational models with heterogeneous transmural distributions of T max (Wang et al, 2016).…”
