Left ventricular systolic twist and vortex formation: The hurricane heart

Author(s):

Robert M Peters

Abstract:

In left ventricular systole, LV twist leads to formation of a vortex with high rotational/ tangential blood velocities, and a low pressure central area. These phenomenon improve the efficiency of contraction, enable a normal ejection fraction to take place, and increase our understanding of LV systolic mechanics.
