Fig. 1 — Different methods of assessment of left ventricular ( LV ) parameters regarding the papillary muscles and trabecularisations. Various image analysis protocols regarding the papillary muscles (PMs) and trabecularisations exist. In this study method A and B were compared. a LV mass and volume assessed with inclusion of the PMs in the LV blood pool. b LV mass and volume assessed with inclusion of the PMs in the LV mass. At the base of the PMs the circular shape of the endocardial contour was maintained to avoid inclusion of PM mass in the endocardial contour. c LV mass and volume assessed with inclusion of the PMs and the trabecularisations in the LV mass. Only those slices comprising papillary muscle are displayed
