Regional heterogeneity in left atrial stiffness impacts passive deformation in a cohort of patient-specific models
Fig 6
The panels show the global and regional displacements as well as the volumes obtained from the initial simulator dataset. The dashed black line indicates the LA behaviour derived from the CT image set. The solid circles indicate the time of ventricular end-systole (ES). The LA reservoir, conduit and booster pump phases were identified from the volume transient. Our simulations focused on passive LA function, hence only the reservoir and conduit phase were simulated.
