Figure 3

An IRF corresponding to pattern C in a 63-year-old male patient with dilated cardiomyopathy analyzed from apical long-axis view. The streamlines show that the blood flow within the LV chamber keeps a circulatory motion during the IVR period (top row). A large vortex occupies the LV chamber and persists throughout the IVR period (bottom row). AO aorta, LA: left atrium, LV: left ventricle.
