Figure 9. Torsion [rad] during a cardiac cycle.
Results are presented from simulation SS (upper left), an SS subject (upper right), 3 SIT simulations (bottom left), and 3 SIT subjects (bottom right). Model results are shown before and after reorientation. Torsion was determined in four sections between apex and base. = ejection phase;
= isovolumic relaxation phase;
= filling phase;
= isovolumic contraction phase.
