ROLE OF PECTINATE MUSCLES IN HEMODYNAMICS IN THE CAVITIES OF THE HUMAN HEART

Highlights This review precedes the planned study and is an analysis of the available works on the role of pectinate muscles in the development of morphological and functional conditions of intracavitary hemodynamics in the heart. Abstract This review presents an analysis of recent publications on the assessment of the functional role of the pectinate muscles in the development of morphological and functional conditions of blood flow in the atria. The results of this analysis helped us to identify a number of topics for further research. The results of this research should help us develop new diagnostic systems and criteria in cardiology field, and assist in furthering research regarding the development of anatomically and physiologically substantiated valve prostheses, taking into account the individual characteristics of the hydrodynamic patterns of blood flow.
