Ventricular dimensions by echocardiography: outer contour, wall thickness, valve plane displacement, position of ventricular septum
Chapter 4
Ventricular dimensions by coronary cineangiography: atrio-ventricular valve plane displacement and variation of left and right ventricular outer contour in patients with coronary heart disease
Chapter 5
Changes in distribution of heart muscle mass during the cardiac cycle in patients with coronary artery diseases as visualised by gated thallium scintigraphy
Chapter 6
Echocardiography of ventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall in volume- or pressure-overload-related heart defects

General summary

Research and Development Addendum

Circulation Model
The circulation model and comparisons of different types of pumps (and their similarities to the human heart).
Function of the Heart
Compromise a new summary of the pumping function and regulation of the heart. Here some comparison are made between the human heart, and the deltaV pump. The chapter also give answers to many common questions about the heart, like why we can hear the heart sounds.
