Figure 5.
Diagrammatic representation of the transition in curvature values from end-diastole to end-systole. The gray mesh represents the right ventricle in end-diastole and the blue solid frame the right ventricle in end-systole in a representative normal subject. The apical free wall becomes more pointed (black arrows at apex), and the body free wall flattens, as do the RVOT and RVIT (see arrows at respective positions). There was no change in septal curvature during the transition from end-diastole to end-systole.
