FIG. 5

Superquadric glyph rendering of transmural radial Lagragian strains in the inferolateral freewall of the canine ventricle. The glyphs are generally radially oriented and exhibit a transmural gradient in wall thickening. Furthermore, the other stretch ratios exhibit shortening that is not parallel to the local circumferential and longitudinal directions, but rather at a significant angular deviation from those coordinate directions. This deviation reflects the underlying left-handed torsion of the ventricle as well as the general circumferential and longitudinal shortening.
