Abstract We use the dimensional parameters previously derived (Bull. Math. Biophysics,28, 355–362, 1966), the ventricular pressure expressed as a Fourier series, and several additional assumptions to derive expressions for the mechanical parameters of the ventricle: flow, muscle segment length, surface area, transmural force, wall tension and work. The wall of the ventricle is assumed to consist of three layers of muscle. Each of the mechanical parameters is expressed in terms of Fourier series.
