description | Cardiac function is characterised by haemodynamic parameters in the clinical scenario. Due to recent development in imaging techniques, the clinicians focus on the quantitative assessment of left ventricular size, shape and motion patterns mostly analysed by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance. Because of the physiologically known antagonistic structure and function of the heart muscle, the effective performance of the heart remains hidden behind haemodynamic parameters. In fact, a smaller component of oblique transmural netting of cardiac muscle fibres simultaneously engenders contracting and dilating force vectors, while the predominant mass of the tangentially aligned fibres only acts in one direction. In case of hypertrophy, an increased influence of the dilating transmural fibre component might counteract systolic wall thickening, thereby counteract cardiac output. A further important aspect is the response to inotropic stimulation that is different for the tangentially aligned fibre component in comparison to the transmural component. Both aspects highlight the importance to integrate the analysis of intramural fibre architecture into the clinical cardiac diagnostics. |

Due to recent development in imaging techniques, the clinicians focus on the quantitative assessment of left ventricular size, shape and motion patterns mostly analysed by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance. Because of the physiologically known antagonistic structure and function of the heart muscle, the effective performance of the heart remains hidden behind haemodynamic parameters. In fact, a smaller component of oblique transmural netting of cardiac muscle fibres simultaneously engenders contracting and dilating force vectors, while the predominant mass of the tangentially aligned fibres only acts in one direction. In case of hypertrophy, an increased influence of the dilating transmural fibre component might counteract systolic wall thickening, thereby counteract cardiac output. A further important aspect is the response to inotropic stimulation that is different for the tangentially aligned fibre component in comparison to the transmural component. Both aspects highlight the importance to integrate the analysis of intramural fibre architecture into the clinical cardiac diagnostics.
