Myocardial Torsion is a book different from others, simply because this book is unique, unusual, and I dare say with admiration, it is a curious book, partly magical, full of personality, for initiatory readers, revealing, provocative, challenging. The book has the infrequent peculiarity of being based, to a great extent, on original personal and multidisciplinary investigations, granting it an important extra value.The authors define their purpose since the firsts pages of the book: to provide solidity, validity and even more to Torrent Guasp's concepts. This is certainly a different book in its structure, content and elaboration. It is a text that the reader may admire or criticize, that may create skepticism or surprise at the new data it propose, but wich undoudtedly will leavenobody indifferent, and that is something few books can achieve.

(bovine heart).

The findings in the human hearts are surprising from the point of view of interpretation, since it is logic to consider its presence in all the evolutionary mammalian chain. It should be assumed that this structure, analyzed in different species, has the common function of providing support to the myocardial band to generate the power needed by any muscle, which is different in diverse mammals. Therefore, its presence is constant in all the hearts studied, both in bovids and humans, but its structural characteristic is different, and this diversity in the intimal analysis of the cardiac fulcrum is undoubtedly associated with the resistance it must oppose to the activity of the myocardial band in hearts of different sizes.

The analysis of a 10-year-old human heart showed in the same place a myxoid-cartilaginous formation with approximately 2 cm diameter (Figure 1.21). A similar finding, both in structure and location, occurred in the heart of a 23-week gestation human fetus (Figures 1.22 and 1.23).

A fact defying logic is having found in the adult human heart a formation presenting consistent characteristics, both to observation and palpation, in the same location and with similar triangular morphology (Figures 1.24 to 1.27). However, the histological analysis revealed a matrix similar to that of a tendon.

The macroscopic and microscopic observation reveal the muscle fiber attachment to this solid, homogeneous nucleus, which is closely related with the aortic wall on the side of the tricuspid valve. Its configuration has been confirmed histologically. We have called his structure, origin and end of the myocardial band, cardiac fulcrum, as a parallelism and tribute to the definition of the supporting point of a lever expressed by Archimedes of Syracuse (Greek, 288 B.C. – 212 B.C.). It is located anterior to the central fibrous ridge (right trigone) and it clearly shows that the myocardial fibers of the right segment originate in its structure (Figure 1.16) same as the ascending segment courses to meet it in order to attach (Figures 1.18 and 1.19). It should be noted that to visualize the cardiac fulcrum it is essential to unfold the myocardial band. This osseous, cartilaginous or tendinous structure was always present and with the same morphology in all the hearts analyzed by us, albeit with different histological texture. No description of its characteristics or function has been reported in the literature, except the mere mention of its presence as os cordis in bovids.

Histology . The microscopic analysis of the bovine cardiac fulcrum shows a trabecular osteochondral matrix with segmental lines. Its general structure resembles the metaphyseal growth of the long bones (Figures 1.28 and 1.29) and increased magnification reveals bone trabeculae with osteoblasts and segmental lines secondary to bone apposition (Figure 1.30).

In the 10-year-old human heart, the histological findings in the cardiac fulcrum were associated with that early age. Figure 1.31 shows a central zone of the fulcrum formed by chondroid tissue. Given the 10-year-old age, it is logical that the fulcrum is smaller and characterized by more chondroid than bone tissue. This finding was repeated in a 23-week old human fetus with the characteristic prechondroid bluish areas in a myxoid stroma (Figure 1.32).

The osseous structure in the bovine os cordis and its relationship with the myxoid-chondroid cardiac fulcrum texture in human hearts, even in gestational stages, is rational for the interpretation analysis. This disparity is associated with the different age evolution from chondroid to osseous material and by the greater force developed in bovids requiring a more rigid supporting point.

However, the histological analysis of the fulcrum in adult human hearts evidenced a tendinous collagenous matrix, needing an additional clarification. In principle, there is constancy in the detection, site and morphology of the fulcrum in all the hearts analyzed. This means that from a functional point of view, its presence is akin to myocardial band insertion, as established in the histological analysis, becoming a solid point of interpretation to achieve its biomechanical function. And we find this demonstration when the histological examination is directed to the myocardial insertion in the osseous, chondroid or tendinous fulcrum. All the hearts studied presented this myocardial attachment to the rigid structure of the fulcrum, integrating a cardiomyocyte-matrix unit, regardless of its osseous, cartilaginous or tendinous nature (Figures 1.33 to 1.38).
