Anisotropy ratio r obtained for each tessellation: ALH, square and rectangular.

	Native RV myocardium	ALH Exp	ALH FE	Square FE	Rectangular FE
r	2.8 ± 0.5	2.7 ± 0.1	2.5	1.0	1.8

For comparison, experimental data (mean × s.e.m (n=3)) for the ALH scaffold and native RV myocardium are presented (Engelmayr et al., 2008).
