lüll The helical ventricular myocardial band: global, three-dimensional, functional architecture of the ventricular myocardium Kocica MJ; Corno AF; Carreras-Costa F; Ballester-Rodes M; Moghbel MC; Cueva CN; Lackovic V; Kanjuh VI; Torrent-Guasp FEur J Cardiothorac Surg 2006[Apr]; 29 Suppl 1 (ä): S21-40We are currently witnessing the advent of new diagnostic tools and therapies for heart diseases, but, without serious scientific consensus on fundamental questions about normal and diseased heart structure and function. During the last decade, three successive, international, multidisciplinary symposia were organized in order to setup fundamental research principles, which would allow us to make a significant step forward in understanding heart structure and function. Helical ventricular myocardial band of Torrent-Guasp is the revolutionary new concept in understanding global, three-dimensional, functional architecture of the ventricular myocardium. This concept defines the principal, cumulative vectors, integrating the tissue architecture (i.e. form) and net forces developed (i.e. function) within the ventricular mass. Here we expose the compendium of Torrent-Guasp's half-century long functional anatomical investigations in the light of ongoing efforts to define the integrative approach, which would lead to new understanding of the ventricular form and function by linking across multiple scales of biological organization, as defined in ongoing Physiome project. Helical ventricular myocardial band of Torrent-Guasp may also, hopefully, allow overcoming some difficulties encountered in contemporary efforts to create a comprehensive mathematical model of the heart.|*Ventricular Function[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Cattle[MESH]|Dissection/methods[MESH]|Heart Ventricles/anatomy & histology[MESH]|Heart/*anatomy & histology/physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Models, Cardiovascular[MESH] |
