title: [The dynamics of contraction and walls motion of the calf heart left ventricle].
abstract: The echocardiographic research of the left ventricular has revealed heterogeneity of thickness of the posterior wall and interventricular septum in three parallel planes in the transverse direction of the left ventricle in calves. The amplitude of systolic motion of the left ventricle posterior wall is larger than that of the interventricular septum at the level of the mitral valve, at the level of the papillary muscles, and at the apical level. The excursion of left ventricular walls in the basal level is twice as large as the mobility of ventricular walls in the apical level. During the contraction of the myocardium, the shortness of the left ventricular transversal diameter is to great extent determined by the degree of contraction of the left ventricular wall rather than of the interventricular septum. The high contractility is revealed in calves.
