Hypothesis-generating for helical band architecture; should not change practice pending larger validation.
Observational (n=3)
DENSE MRI provides in vivo dynamic evidence supporting the existence of a functional helical myocardial band in the human heart.
Nasiraei‐Moghaddam et al. (2008) reported an observational. Displacement-encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) MRI was evaluated on Myocardium displacement fields (thickening and tangential shortening). DENSE MRI in three volunteers identified a functional helical myocardial band within the left ventricle mass by filtering myocardium regions with a tangential shortening index of <0.23.
