Examples of mechanical modelling of LV dynamics from a healthy control and a MI patient. (a) Deformed LV geometry at end-diastole and end-systole (b) from a healthy volunteer; (c) deformed LV geometry at end-diastole and at end-systole (d) from a MI patient; (e) distributions of systolic active tension and (f) myofibre stress from the healthy volunteer; (g) distributions of systolic active tension and (h) myofibre stress from the MI patient; (i) systolic myofibre strain distribution and (j) twist degree from LV base to apex from the healthy volunteer; (k) systolic myofibre strain distribution and (l) twist degree from LV base to apex from the MI patient.
