We describe the echocardiographic findings in a large reptile-the carpet python. If ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, the study of reptilian hearts may provide insights into human cardiac development. In addition, the reptilian heart has unique structural and physiological adaptations that may broaden our perspective on evolutionary cardiac adaptation.
我们描述了大型爬行动物——地毯蟒的超声心动图检查结果。如果个体发育重演系统发育,那么对爬行动物心脏的研究可能会为人类心脏发育提供见解。此外,爬行动物的心脏具有独特的结构和生理适应性,这可能会拓宽我们对心脏进化适应性的认识。
