Key result
Left ventricular rotation, an essential component of effective pumping, can be measured noninvasively using echocardiography to assess different aspects of left ventricular mechanical function.
Left ventricular rotation can be measured noninvasively using echocardiography, providing new opportunities for assessing left ventricular mechanical function.
The helical ventricular myocardial band of Torrent-Guasp is a new concept, which provides strong grounds for reconciliation of some important aspects in cardiovascular medicine. Oblique fiber orientation provides left ventricular rotation, which in addition to radial thickening and longitudinal shortening, is predicted as an essential component of the effective left ventricular pumping. Left ventricular rotation can be measured in clinical practice noninvasively using echocardiography and this provides new opportunities for the assessment of different aspects of left ventricular mechanical function.

Pavlyukova et al. (2015) conducted a review in Left ventricular mechanical function. Echocardiography was evaluated. Left ventricular rotation, an essential component of effective pumping, can be measured noninvasively using echocardiography to assess different aspects of left ventricular mechanical function.
