DESCRIZIONE

Anatomy is at the core of the studies in the formation of the physician to safely practice medicine. This is especially true in the study cardiac anatomy, which has become crucial to the understanding of cardiac pathophysiology and the latest clinical-instrumental imaging such as echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, all diagnostic tools that have completely revolutionized the study of cardiac anatomy. Anatomy itself is one of the oldest branches of medicine, perhaps the first studied by man, analyzed by describing the various structures in relation to their anatomical position within the body. However, this approach no longer applies to the heart, which, in the past, was studied in the classic and erroneous orientation with the tip down and the atria up, determining the so-called “Valentine” positioning.
As matter of fact, despite it is possible to section the heart in the autopsy room retaining its appropriate anatomical position, when revealing the internal cardiac features there is a concomitant degree of distortion. Therefore, the denomination of the anterior and posterior descending coronary arteries is improper because these arteries run on the upper and lower surfaces of the heart, respectively. Gross anatomy of the heart is a very extensive subject and, as often taught, is far from the anatomy that the student will handle in clinical practice. The aim of this textbook is to focus the cardiac anatomy in the light of the most advanced diagnostic technologies and in accordance with the most recent scientific studies. The various aspects of the multiple anatomical structures involved are highlighted, performing a precise analysis of the images presented and facilitating their identification in order to clearly understand their relationships and pathophysiology.
