On the Cardiac Loop and Its Failing: Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
V iewed dispassionately, the cardiac loop seems an unconventional, even an odd, evolutionary adaptation. The ventricular U-turn loop, which occurs in all reptiles, mammals, and birds, forces blood to travel back on itself with a 180° turn between the ...

Non-pharmaceutical Interventions for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Mini Review
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an inherited cardiovascular disease, and 70% of patients have left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Ventricular septal myectomy has been the gold standard treatment for most patients with refractory symptoms.
