    A new method enables accurate 3D cardiac analysis using sectioned hearts. This computer-based approach provides precise measurements of cardiac shape and size, crucial for understanding heart conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular anatomy
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Medical imaging

    Background:

    • Detailed three-dimensional (3D) analysis of cardiac shape and size has been lacking.
    • Previous methods were insufficient for comprehensive cardiac morphology assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel computer-based method for 3D analysis of cardiac morphology.
    • To establish reference axes for cardiac structures and evaluate the impact of section thickness on accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • Hearts were fixed, cast, and sectioned at varying thicknesses (hs).
    • Epi- and endocardial surfaces of the left and right ventricles (LV and RV) and interventricular septum were digitized.
    • Computer-based 3D reconstructions and volume calculations were performed.

    Main Results:

    • Accurate 3D reconstructions and volumes were achieved with section thickness (hs) ≤ 5 mm.
    • Apex-to-base circumference and cross-sectional area relations were approximated with hs < 10 mm.
    • Centers of gravity for cardiac structures defined distinct reference axes.

    Conclusions:

    • A 5-mm section thickness is sufficient for accurate 3D cardiac configuration description.
    • The developed method provides geometrical references for studying normal and diseased hearts.
    • This 3D analysis advances the understanding of cardiac shape and size.
