Frank-Starling mechanism, fluid responsiveness, and length-dependent activation: Unravelling the multiscale behaviors with an in silico analysis

A. Ventricular and aortic pressures during a BL (blue), IIP (red), and IIP NO LDA (dashed red) simulation protocol. B. Corresponding aortic flows. The aortic flow amplitude (inset) and ejection duration (black arrow) increase for the IIP protocol compared to the BL case, but not for the IIP NO LDA protocol.
