The Coronary Distribution Zone : Mathematical Modelling Of The Left Ventricular Epicardial Surface For Area Calculation, Three-Dimensional Rotaton And Display, S. Matts E. Sjölander
The Coronary Distribution Zone : Mathematical Modelling Of The Left Ventricular Epicardial Surface For Area Calculation, Three-Dimensional Rotaton And Display, S. Matts E. Sjölander
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A computer model of the left ventricular (LV) epicardial surface was developed from Jang’s truncated ellipsoidal model, which has a minor to major axis ratio of 6:10. The model was applied in calculating the area of a segment of the myocardium, jeopardized by an impending occlusion of its associated artery. The endangered segment of the LV muscle was also visualized in different projections by rotations in three space and graphical displays simulating the three dimensions.
The area formula for the surface of the ideal model , a truncated prolate spheroid, was derived and used in producing maps for manual calculations …
Distribution Of Maternal And Fetal Blood Flow Within Cotyledons Of The Sheep Placenta, Gordon G. Power, P. Steven Dale, Paul S. Nelson

These studies explore the distribution of blood flow among small samples of placental tissue. Labeled microspheres (14 ± 1 pm) were Injected Into the left ventricle of six un-anesthetized ewes and Into the jugular vein of the fetus In utero. A total of 3,576 samples weighing 31. +11. (S.D.) mg were taken from seventeen cotyledons and counted for flow labels. Maternal and fetal flow within the cotyledons were both normally distributed with standard deviations of 44%. The maternal/ fetal flow ratio was less than 0.5 In 9% of the cotyledon, between 0.5 and 1.5 In 70%, and greater than 1.5 …
