Figure 5
Velocity ratios lateral/septal (A), anterior/inferior (B), and basal/apical in murine, rabbit and human hearts for radial and long-axis velocities during systole and diastole. Significant differences between species are indicated by *(p<0.05) and **(p<0.001). A’-C’: pictograms of AHA 16-segment models that illustrate the regions used for ratio calculation in A-C, regions are highlighted in dark and bright grey.
