There have been insufficient numerical methods for particular description and quantitative evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function in the studies in this area. We therefore have summarized the computational models of the affecting factors for diastolic function from five aspects, i. e. the geometry shape of left ventricular, myocardial stiffness, myocardial viscosity, myocardial relaxation and ventricular interaction respectively. Controlling the sensitive parameters and having a mathematical description on left ventricular diastolic dysfunction can provide numerical methods for clinical diagnosis and quantitative evaluation of the disease.
