From: Atrial and ventricular kinetic energy is higher in athletes compared to healthy controls and contributes to improve diastolic filling of the ventricles

Figure 2

Visualization of rotational kinetic energy in the left and right atrium of an elite endurance athlete. Left panel shows left and right atrial flow in a 4 chamber image and right panel shows the same flow in a short-axis image. Note the helical flow from the right atrium into the right ventricle. LA - left atrium, RA - right atrium, LV - left ventricle, RV - right ventricle, 4ch - 4 chamber view, SAX - short-axis view.
