Figure Lengend Snippet: a) Short- and long-axis views of biventricular meshed geometries of six PPCM patients illustrating the wall thickness of the left and right ventricular free wall and septal wall. In each image, the LV is on the right, and the RV is on the left. Recovery status (R: recovered, N: not recovered), ejection fraction, and survival status (A: alive and D: died) are indicated in the patient code. b) Comparison of the calibrated passive filling curves for each patient. Volume was normalised to unloaded volume V 0 . Compliance of the LV myocardium increased with increase in ejection fraction (numerical value in the model’s name). Model N06D with the lowest ejection fraction of 6% had the stiffest LV myocardium. c) Schematic of coupling of biventricular geometry with circulatory system and LVAD ( Sack et al ., 2018b ). R M : mitral valve resistance, R A : aortic valve resistance, C SA : systemic arterial compliance, R SYS : systemic arterial resistance, C SV : systemic venous compliance, R T: tricuspid valve resistance, R P : pulmonary valve resistance, C PA : pulmonary arterial compliance, R P : pulmonary valve resistance, C P : pulmonary system compliance, LVAD: left ventricular assist device.
