Meeting abstracts - A single PDF containing all abstracts in this supplement is available at http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/files/pdf/1532-429X-13-S1-full.pdf.EMPTY Purpose To characterize the microstructure of human/mammalian hearts using a statistical definition of fiber helix angle in the myocardial continuum. D-F) Lateral view of myofibers passing through the ROI, colored according to (D) the original/local, (E) median, and (F) mean helix angle. [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Figure 2 (A) Histogram of fiber helix angles sampled at original/local points along fiber trajectories within the region of interest (ROI.
