Figure 1From: Peak oxygen uptake in relation to total heart volume discriminates heart failure patients from healthy volunteers and athletesDelineation of total heart volume. Example of delineation of the pericardium from short-axis cardiac magnetic resonance images enabling determination of the total heart volume. The base is seen in the upper left corner and apex in the lower right corner. Ao = ascending aorta, LA = left atrium, LV = left ventricle, Pulm = pulmonary artery, RA = right atrium, RV = right ventricle.Back to article page
