% The function var_acap.m computes the atrial elastance and derivative 
% of the elastance for a desired time step.
%
% Function arguments:
%	Cs - atrial end-systolic compliance (ml/mmHg)
%	Cd - atrial diastolic compliance (ml/mmHg)
%	Tp - previous cardiac cycle length (s)
%	sumdeltaT -  time surpassed in current cardiac cycle (s)
%
% Function outputs:
%	E - atrial elastance at the desired time step (mmHg/ml)
%	dE - derivative of E at the desired time step (mmHg/ml-s)
%

% than Cs.
