Figure 4 Time Course of Transmural Fiber Strains
(A) Entire cardiac cycle. Different colors represent the percent wall depth from the epicardial surface. Open circles = onset of myofiber shortening; open squares = onset of myofiber relaxation. (B) A closer look at TDShort. (C) A closer look at TDRelax. AoP = central aortic pressure; ECG = electrocardiogram; LAP = left atrial pressure; LVP = left ventricular pressure; TDRelax = transmural dispersion of myofiber relaxation; TDShort = transmural dispersion of myofiber shortening.
