From: Growth and remodeling play opposing roles during postnatal human heart valve development
Remodeling was implemented by prescribing changes of the material properties. The four material parameters were fitted as function of a weighting factor w (with w = 0 returning the stress-stretch response before remodeling and w = 1 after remodeling) for aortic early (a) and late-stage (b) development, and pulmonary early (c) and late-stage (d) development.
