Figure 1: Anatomical model of the heart of the Visible Man.

Figure 2: Cardiac muscle fibre orientation: The small white lines show
the orientation of the fibre at different locations of the cardiac muscle.
|
Figure 3: Excitation propagation in a model of the heart of the Visible
Man: 3D views show the excitation process at different times for the atria.
The color code on the surface describes the value of the transmembrane
potential. The potential decreases from 20 mV to -80 mV changing its color
from yellow, over green, blue to the original color of the cardiac tissue.

Man: 3D views of the excitation process at different times for the ventricles.

Figure 5: Calculated ECG of the Visible Man: The cardiac source distribution
to calculte the ECG was taken from the transmembrane potentials shown in
figures 3 and 4.
