Abstract
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.Entities:
