Scientific Sessions

Recent advances in cardiac anatomy and physiology have significantly enhanced our understanding of the heart’s complex structure and function. Modern imaging technologies such as high-resolution 3D echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and CT angiography have provided detailed visualization of cardiac chambers, valves, and coronary vessels, allowing clinicians to study the heart in real time with remarkable precision. These innovations have led to better identification of anatomical variations and subtle structural abnormalities that were previously undetectable. Moreover, the development of molecular imaging and histopathological studies has deepened insights into myocardial tissue composition, remodeling, and regeneration, providing a foundation for personalized cardiac care.

Physiological research has also advanced through computational modeling and electrophysiological mapping, enabling accurate simulations of cardiac conduction and mechanical performance. Discoveries related to cardiac stem cells, ion channel regulation, and neurocardiac interactions have shed light on the mechanisms underlying arrhythmias, heart failure, and myocardial repair. These breakthroughs are transforming both diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, leading to the evolution of minimally invasive procedures and bioengineered cardiac tissues. Together, these innovations bridge the gap between anatomy and physiology, promoting a more integrated understanding of cardiac function and paving the way for next-generation cardiovascular medicine.
