Fig. 10 — The wicker basket analogy. When the basket is dilated in the right panel the angle, between the wickers decreases from approximately 100° to 80°. In this basket the angle between the wickers decrease when the basket is dilated in exactly the same way as seen in the dilating right ventricle. The figure is not to be understood as a model of mural architecture and it is not to be interpreted as an image of how the myocardium is constructed. Contrary, the purpose of the figure is to illustrate the concept of what happens to the helical angles, depicted by the angles between the wickers, when the cavity dilates. No conclusions on E3 or intrusion angles can be made from this model
