Schematic representation of the spiraling orientation of cardiomyocytes, forming a three-dimensional mesh supported by the heart's fibrous matrix. A - cross-section, B - anterior heart surface, C - posterior heart surface, 1 - outer surface aggregates extending from the left ventricle to the anterior heart surface, 2 - outer surface aggregates limited to the LV wall, 3 - outer surface aggregates extending to the posterior heart surface, Ao - aorta, PA - pulmonary artery, LA - left atrium, RA - right atrium, LV - left ventricle, RV - right ventricle.
