Summary: | Fulcrum and Torsion of the Helical Myocardium by Jorge C. Trainini and colleagues explores advanced concepts in cardiac anatomy and physiology, building on the foundational work of Torrent Guasp. This scientific text delves into the anatomical and histological structure of the myocardium, proposing a continuous, spiral muscle structure that functions with a cardiac fulcrum. The authors introduce a three-stage cardiac mechanical model including a unique suction phase, integrating disciplines such as hydraulics and physics to offer new insights into cardiac mechanics. The book challenges traditional views and invites readers to engage deeply with complex cardiac dynamics, making it a comprehensive resource for medical professionals and researchers seeking to enhance their understanding of cardiac function.
