Comparison of intraventricular flow patterns in a normal subject and a HCM patient: Intraventricular streamline distributions at the end of diastole in a healthy subject model (left) and a HCM patient model (right). It is seen that larger and stronger vortices are developed in the healthy LV. Also, the vortices are pumped deeply into the apex part in the HCM LV [22] (Reprinted from [22], with permission from IEEE)
