| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To describe the outline of the ventricular wall on the basis of physiologic data. STUDY DESIGN: Applying the finite deformation theory, we introduced equilibrium equations to obtain the stress-strain relationship of canine myocardial fibers. This was then applied to drawing the shape of the ventricular wall by the finite element method. RESULTS: The outlines of the ventricle wall corresponded to those seen on an echocardiogram. CONCLUSION: Our method is applicable to the present purpose. |
