| Sumario: | This book delves into the complex anatomy and mechanics of the cardiac muscle, specifically focusing on the helical structure of the myocardium. It explores the anatomical and histological aspects of the myocardium, emphasizing its continuous, spiral nature and its role in cardiac function. The authors examine the fulcrum, a tendon-like or even bone-like structure, that serves as a pivotal support for the myocardial helix. Further sections analyze the propagation of electrical stimuli through the myocardium and the intricate mechanics of cardiac motion, introducing novel concepts such as the active suction phase. The book also highlights advancements in cardiac imaging techniques and their implications for understanding myocardial structure and physiology. This scholarly work aims to provide new insights into cardiac mechanics, challenging traditional views and offering hypotheses that could impact the treatment of cardiac pathologies. It is intended for medical professionals and researchers in cardiology and related fields.
