FIG. 2

Demonstration of both the transmural arrangement of myofibers and the distinct orthotropy of the tissue structure in the anterolateral wall of the left ventricular using superquadric glyphs. The myofiber orientations are indicated by the orientations of the long glyph edges. The overall superquadric glyph shape and the coloration represent the tissue orthotropy. The epicardium is in the foreground and the endocardium is in the background. Distinct tensor orthotropy is visible in the midwall and endocardial glyphs as exhibited by LP ratios (Eq. [7]) near 0.5.
