Divergences and Implications of Cardiac Mechanics.
Until now, the mechanical path through the myocardial fibers to perform their arduous work during the discussed cardiac cycle has been exposed. Now certain divergences and implications that these movements have with the opening and closing phenomena of the mitral valve, isovolumetric relaxation, torsion and detorsion, longitudinal and circumferential tension, right ventricular function, and diastolic dysfunction will be discussed.
