Abstract
The reanimation of large mammalian hearts, including those of humans, using Visible Heartreg methodologies provides a unique perspective of functional cardiac anatomy. This knowledge is critical for design engineers and clinicians who seek less invasive cardiac repair approaches for patients with acquired or congenital structural heart defects.
