The Oxford Textbook of Cardiac Anatomy delivers an authoritative and graphically detailed resource of the heart's structure, written by leading experts who have shaped the field through groundbreaking research and clinical insight.This comprehensive volume provides an in-depth description of all cardiac components as they appear in the living body, bridging basic anatomy with clinical relevance. Beginning with cardiac development and the pericardial coverings, the textbook guides readers through the anatomy of each chamber, the arterial pathways, and the atrioventricular and ventriculo-arterial junctions.Detailed accounts are provided of features such as the cardiac conduction system and mural architecture, authored by those responsible for major advances in cardiology and cardiac interventions. The arrangement of cardiomyocytes, the vascular and nervous systems, and the heart's conduction pathways are explored in depth, supported by cutting-edge imaging-including synchrotron techniques-and richly illustrated autopsy specimens. The book concludes with a comparative look at cardiac anatomy across animal species used in experimental research, offering valuable context for translational studies.Essential reading for anatomists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, and researchers, this textbook is a definitive reference for understanding the heart's structure in both diagnosing and treating cardiac diseases and interventions.
