Architecture of the myocardium in computed tomography.

To determine whether current concepts of myocardial organization were in fact the result of artifacts introduced by the dissection technique, a method comprising air injection of the coronary arteries (which gently separated the myocardial fibers) and computerized tomography was devised. Viewing the tomographs cinematographically confirmed the concept that the heart is formed by a double looping of myocardial fiber bands was correct. Examination of abnormal hearts, eg, one with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, shows that pathologic tissue disarrangements could also be identified.

[Prenatal diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome--indications for abortion or transplantation?].

Early diagnosis of fetal cardiac malformations in center of Perinatal Medicine is now possible with the use of modern high frequency ultrasound technics in combination with the 3-step-program of the DEGUM. The diagnosis of most cardiac malformations can early already be obtained in the 2nd trimester as for example the lethal hypoplastic left ventricle syndrome. We want to discuss the problem of prenatal diagnosis of the hypoplastic left heart syndrome and the possibilities of therapeutic procedures.
