Spatial orientation of the ventricular muscle band: Physiologic contribution and surgical implications

Open access

Abstract

I t has been proposed that the ventricular myocardium, both right (RV) and left (LV), exists as a continuous muscle band.1-4 The band is oriented spatially as a helix formed by basal and apical loops. We hypothesize that this unique anatomy and spatial configuration of the myocardial muscle determine the way the ventricular ejection and filling take place.5,6 Further, knowledge of this unique morphologic and physiologic characteristic should facilitate development of more effective surgical procedures in congestive heart failure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
