Abstract

A spherical model for the human left ventricle with two different types of aneurysms, circular and rectangular-square, is proposed and meaningful relations are derived between the parameters of the aneurysms and ventricle. Such ventricular parameters as stroke volume, end-diastolic volume, and end-systolic volume are given normal human values to compute values for end-systolic radius and percentage shortening of muscle for various sized circular and rectangular-square aneurysms.
