Abstract
The heart’s lymphatic system has been under research for many years both at a microscopic and a macroscopic level. The results so far significantly induce modern cardiologists to attribute pathologies of the heart to disorders of cardiac lymphatics. The current review is an effort to display the progress of the knowledge regarding the heart’s lymphatic system through the work of the scientists devoted to the specific field. The reader will gain detailed and up to date information and will be able to comprehend thoroughly the anatomy of the cardiac lymphatics.
期刊介绍:
The Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, founded in 1901 by Giulio Chiarugi, Anatomist at Florence University, is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Italian Society of Anatomy and Embryology. The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles, historical article, commentaries, obituitary, and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques; comparative functional morphology; developmental biology; functional human anatomy; methodological innovations in anatomical research; significant advances in anatomical education. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. All papers should be submitted in English and must be original works that are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.
