May facilitate conduction studies; leaves clinical utility open pending validation.

Key Points

To introduce a simplified method for clearly visualizing the left branch of the atrioventricular bundle in human cardiac tissue.
Applied a simplified anatomical visualization protocol to human heart tissue to expose specialized conducting fibers.
Enabled direct visual identification of the human left bundle of His.
Provided reproducible visualization that counters historical doubts regarding the existence of specialized conducting tissue in humans.
