lüll Towards new understanding of the heart structure and function Torrent-Guasp F; Kocica MJ; Corno AF; Komeda M; Carreras-Costa F; Flotats A; Cosin-Aguillar J; Wen HEur J Cardiothorac Surg 2005[Feb]; 27 (2): 191-201Structure and function in any organ are inseparable categories, both in health and disease. Whether we are ready to accept, or not, many questions in cardiovascular medicine are still pending, due to our insufficient insight in the basic science. Even so, any new concept encounters difficulties, mainly arising from our inert attitude, which may result either in unjustified acceptance or denial. The ventricular myocardial band concept, developed over the last 50 years, has revealed unavoidable coherence and mutual coupling of form and function in the ventricular myocardium. After more than five centuries long debate on macroscopic structure of the ventricular myocardium, this concept has provided a promising ground for its final understanding. Recent validations of the ventricular myocardial band, reviewed here, as well as future research directions that are pointed out, should initiate much wider scientific interest, which would, in turn, lead to reconciliation of some exceeded concepts about developmental, electrical, mechanical and energetical events in human heart. The benefit of this, of course, would be the most evident in the clinical arena.|Biomechanical Phenomena[MESH]|Cardiac Output, Low/pathology/physiopathology[MESH]|Connective Tissue/anatomy & histology/physiology[MESH]|Heart Ventricles/anatomy & histology[MESH]|Heart/*anatomy & histology/physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Models, Cardiovascular[MESH]|Myocardial Contraction/physiology[MESH]|Ventricular Function/physiology[MESH] |
