Assuming a sph@2ical geometry for the left ventricle, passive elastic stiffness-stress relations have been obtained on the basis of linear elasticity theory and large deformation theory. Employing pressure-volume data taken from rat hearts of various age groups, it is shown that young rat heart musc
