“Because the clear
demonstration of the existence of the helical
ventricular myocardial band and how it allows a
structure of the heart to be configured in such a
special way, undoubtedly will have a towering
importance and would certainly be the equivalent,
but actually, surpass by far the establishment of
the circulatory system by William Harvey. I say
that without denying the historical importance of
Harvey, but mostly because it has been a long
period in which we did not have gigantic advances
in understanding of the heart function, which
could translate into mayor changes of the
paradigms of treatment in surgery as well as in
our medical treatment. I think that this band is
really going to fulfill that, in addition to
opening a number of important questions, that
should promote basic research of great
significance.” |

“I think that the importance of
this theory and these findings, in terms of
research and treatment in the future, is probably
not really known at the present time. It is such
dramatic change from the understanding of the
heart’s physiology, both electrophysiology and
functional physiology, that we can almost go back
and start repeating the experiments of the last 50
years and now with this new knowledge in place,
and see how we interpret some of those experiments
now.” |

“I believe that this concept of
the normal anatomy of the heart and how normality
is changed by pathology, allows us to go back to
normality. And if that is correct, I think that
the information that Dr Torrent-Guasp has given
us, has allowed us to begin to deal with heart
failure in a purely geometric way that restores
the natural spiral formation. I believe we’ve been
so far quite correct. I think we are on right
track that this information will help us deal with
the biggest health hazard in the world which is
the congestive heart failure.” |
