Fig. 2From: Changes in overall ventricular myocardial architecture in the setting of a porcine animal model of right ventricular dilationThe epicardial tangential plane. Calculation of the epicardial tangential plane. The short axis circumference of the ventricle was subdivided into 64 parts of equal size as imaged. The area of interest as outlined in bold was exported with its corresponding parts 2 mm above and below as outlined in dashed lines. Three points P1, P2, and P3 were selected in the epicardium as shown and from these the epicardial tangential plane was calculatedBack to article page
