  • Heart dimensions

    Dear Listmembers:

    I am looking for normal geometrical dimensions for the inside of
    the left ventricle and left atrium for use in a simple finite element
    model of mitral regurgitation (using FIDAP). I really don't need the
    detail provided by, for example, the gigabytes of data contained in the
    NLM visible human. An axisymmetric elliptical model may be good enough
    for a first effort. However, I would also be interested in a fairly
    detailed 3-d mesh of the inner dimensions of the left heart for
    asymmetric simulation. In the latter case, a data set of x,y,z points in
    some common file format would be useful.

    Many thanks,
    --Sandy Stewart
