Helical ventricular myocardial band (HVMB) model vs Traditional cardiac morphology

The helical ventricular myocardial band concept challenges traditional views of cardiac mechanics and may alter future understanding of cardiac disease diagnosis and treatment.

Cite This Study

Buckberg et al. (2018) conducted a review in Cardiac anatomy and mechanics. Helical ventricular myocardial band (HVMB) model vs. Traditional cardiac morphology was evaluated. Torrent Guasp's helical ventricular myocardial band model explains the heart's six dynamic actions, challenging traditional concepts of cardiac mechanics and pathophysiology.
