Figure 6

(A) Plots demonstrating blood particle retention in various cardiac structures, quantified as the fraction of particles retained in the structure, after an initial random seeding and subsequent tracking for 5 cardiac cycles. Particles in right atrial appendage were found to have higher retention rate. Right atrial appendage exhibited significantly higher particle retention than other region (*p < 0.005). (B) Particles and path lines of remaining particles in entire heart (embryo #1) after a few cardiac cycles, (C) particles and path lines of remaining particles after 5 cycles for subject #2–5. Red arrow: particles oscillating within the right atrial appendage. Black arrow: there was only minimal migration of particles out of the right atrial appendage. A video of the particle tracking for case 1 was added as Supplementary Video 7.
