Pressures and flows for a heartbeat in the dysfunctions. (a) Systolic dysfunction, (b) diastolic dysfunction, and (c) combined dysfunction. Pra, right atrium (RA) pressure (subscript 1); Prv, right ventricle (RV) pressure (subscript 2); PPuA, pulmonary arteries (PuA) pressure (subscript 3); QTv, tricuspid valve flow (subscript 4); QPv, pulmonary valve flow (subscript 5). Black solid line, healthy configuration (p = 0%); coloured lines; the corresponded degree of RV impairment, p, from 10 to 100%. Significant values of computed pressures and flows are reported in Table S2 of the Supplementary Information.
