High-resolution examination of the latissimus dorsi–heart synchronization. Mechanogram of latissimus dorsi wrap contraction is obtained by combined polygraph and M-mode echocardiography.

4. Fig 3
High-resolution examination of the latissimus dorsi–heart synchronization. Mechanogram is viewed simultaneously with echo-Doppler measurements of aortic outflow. (A) The mechanogram of a lightly conditioned latissimus dorsi wrap stimulated with four impulses delivered at 23-ms intervals (43 Hz) is well included in the aortic outflow period. (B) After 4 years of standard stimulation, the mechanogram lasts longer than the aortic outflow when a fully transformed LD wrap is stimulated with six impulses delivered at 31-ms intervals (32 Hz).
