title: Modelling blood flow in the left side of the heart.
abstract: Qualitative similarity is demonstrated between velocity fields predicted by C. S. Peskin's mathematical model for blood flow in a plane section through the left side of the mammalian heart and human velocity data measured with MRI-technique. Also, the underlying muscle model for the heart model is investigated with respect to simulated ventricular pressure.
