Drift of Scroll Wave Filaments in an Anisotropic Model of the Left Ventricle of the Human Heart

Figure 7

Final position of the filament for the spherical LV shape (a) and normal LV shape (b) in the case of negative filament tension . The blue line shows the results of simulations for initial scroll location at the centre of the LV and the red line for the initial location close to the apex. The -axis shows the apical thickness , and the -axis is the coordinate. The LV base has , and the apex has . The different line styles correspond to different anisotropy ratios.
