This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Recent work suggests that the myocytes are coupled together into thin sheets that provide slippage planes for large myocardial deformations. The tensors mode is useful for quantifying the degree to which myocytes are organized into sheet-like structures. The goal of this work was to define the regional heterogeneity of myocardial structure in the normal canine heart. H
