Drift of Scroll Wave Filaments in an Anisotropic Model of the Left Ventricle of the Human Heart

Figure 3

Meridional sections of the geometrical LV model for various values of the parameters. The cases of the normal ((a), (c)) and the spherical LV shape ((b), (d)). ((a), (b)) shows the geometry for the cases with the minimal apical thickness (mm); ((c), (d)) shows the geometry for the cases with the maximal apical thickness (mm). The axes are marked in cm. The abscissa axis is ; the ordinate axis is .
