Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Isolated Biventricular Noncompaction in an adult with severe pulmonary hypertension : an association reviewed. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Biventricular noncompaction is a recently recognized rare form of cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by altered structure of myocardial wall as a result of intrauterine arrest of compaction of the myocardial fibers in absence of coexisting congenital
