The anatomy of the heart is certainly of major interest to all of us who are involved in its surgical repair. Over the years, various concepts have been introduced with regard to the structure of the heart, but some degree of controversy has always been around.
As a matter of fact, the plates in the very famous De humanis corporis fabrica by A Vesalius from 1543 [1] show cross sections of the heart indicating its layered structure, whereas one can read in Heister's anatomy from 1753 [2], that the fibers of the heart are
