(a) In embryonic mice, transformation from trabeculated to more compacted myocardium is accompanied by a fall in FDs across the left ventricle from base to apex (shaded areas represent mean ± 95% CI). (b) In humans studied by CMR, FDs change in a characteristic pattern across the left ventricle in LVNC, healthy black and healthy white volunteers (shaded areas represent s.e.m.). FD indicates fractal dimension; CI, confidence intervals; s.e.m., standard error of mean. Other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
