Universal ventricular coordinates: A generic framework for describing position within the heart and transferring data

The ventricles of mammalian hearts share many common characteristics. These include a biventricular geometry, Purkinje system (PS), and helical myocardial fiber orientation (Streeter  et al., 1969). They also express electrical heterogeneity with respect to transmural (Lou et al., 2011; Sabir et al., 2007), apicobasal (Janse et al., 2012), and left-right gradients (Pandit et al., 2011; Volders et al., 1999).
