Counterclockwise and clockwise spirals exist within our fingertips. ...his harmonic pattern within our fingertips also occurs in our heart, where clockwise and counterclockwise spirals are evident at the apex ... shown in 1864 by Pettigrew... e look at the heart anatomically and observe the internal and external spiral loops ...previously called the bulbospiral and sinospiral loops. Their infolding into the heart develops a pathway... similar to those that appear in the Handbook of Physiology and were made by Dr.. Their format characterizes a structural problem... called the of anatomy.

acemakers elevate the heart rate... but they don’t always reproduce a normal heartbeat. ...f the pacemaker leads are placed directly in ventricular muscle... the natural electrical system is not utilized. ...here is loss of the natural twisting motion needed for efficient contraction.
It may even cause heart function to worsen and produce heart failure in patients with dilated hearts. In other patients, fatigue will not improve, and shortness of breath will not get better.

Sudden death... cardiac arrest... occurs because the heart suddenly stops . CPR is typically performed... and if one is available, a defibrillator... restoring the heartbeat. Yet... the harsh reality is that 85 to 90% of these patients die, and severe brain damage develops in half of those who do survive. ...CPR, defibrillation ...does not address the heart defect ...hy stay so stubbornly attached to a method in which 85 to 90% of patients perish?

Clearly it’s important not to injure the septum during operations. So why is it happening repeatedly? ...ikely ...improper myocardial protection . We... tested 119 consecutive patients and found no septum damage when protection was done correctly. ...Successful protection involves ...the cardioplegic solution and adopting a correct delivery strategy. ...f surgeons are to prevent the all-too-frequent injury to the heart’s vital septum, they must avoid taking shortcuts that compromise this essential combination.

Heart attacks occur because a part of the heart stops squeezing after there is sudden loss of blood supply to that area. ...the damaged portion of the heart does not regain its ability to contract. The long-term aftermath is that 30% of surviving patients will develop heart failure within five years, despite having the artery successfully reopened. ...However, if instead of initially returning normal blood to the damaged region... we add specific ingredients to this nourishing blood and... control how it is delivered... contraction returns immediately. ...he required equipment already exists in the cath lab, and needs only minor modifications. Yet this is not done, due to a lack of willingness to learn...
