Deep recessus of the muscular interventricular septum documented with echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Buss SJ, Lehrke S, Katus HA, Mereles D

The helical myocardial band, a new concept of myocardial architecture, could help in the interpretation of the genesis of this anatomic finding.
