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
