% The function var_vcap.m computes the ventricular elastance and 
% derivative of the elastance for a desired time step.  This
% function is valid for the intact circulation with contracting
% atria.
%
% Function arguments:
%	Cs - end-systolic OR differential end-systolic compliance
%	     value at the unstressed volume (ml/mmHg)
%	Cd - diastolic OR differential diastolic compliance value
%	     at the dead unstressed (ml/mmHg)
%	Tp - previous cardiac cycle length (s)
%	sumdeltaT -  time surpassed in current cardiac cycle (s)
%
% Function outputs:
%	E - elastance or differential elastance value at the unstressed volume
%	    for the desired time step (mmHg/ml)
%	dE - derivative of E at the desired time ste[ (mmHg/ml-s)
%
