Thickness and Ratio of Noncompacted and Compacted Layers of the Left Ventricular Myocardium Evaluated in 56 Normal Fetuses by Two-Dimensional Echocardiography

Figure 1

(a) The view shows the upper sections of left ventricular short-axis of the fetal heart. The yellow part is the endocardial noncompact myocardium (NC). The red part is epicardium compact myocardium(C).

(b) The view shows the lower sections of left ventricular short-axis of fetal heart. The yellow part is the endocardial noncompact myocardium (NC). The red part is epicardium compact myocardium (C).
