Fig 2 Blood streamlines (anterior view) after stage I at (A, D, G, J) early, (B, E, H, K) middle, and (C, F, I, L) end diastole. The myocardium is colored by displacement magnitude. Patient 1: (A) 60%, (B) 80%, and (C) 100%. Patient 2: (D) 32%, (E) 78%, and (F) 100%. Patient 3: (G) 55%, (H) 80%, and (I) 100%. Patient 4: (J) 40%, (K) 78%, and (L) 100%.
