The code of life

Look carefully at The Last Supper. Measure the angle between the sloping right-hand side of Christ and the figure — John the Baptist, or is it Mary Magdalene? — leaning away on his right. It measures 81 degrees. This is the exact angle at which the hypodermic must be be inserted into the aorta for a successful angioplasty. Leonardo da Vinci not only knew the geometry of a quadruple bypass: but he left a detailed set of coded instructions on procedure. Count the number of transverse rafters on the ceiling: seven. Now balance these against the five supporting beams: there you have the precise ratio of camphor and opium required for successful anaesthesia. Finally, note the position of the disciple’s hands on the left, held up vertically as a clear sign — or is it a warning? — that a reflux of blood back towards the ventricle alone cannot be the force that closes the valve. As Francis Wells, a consultant surgeon at Papworth Hospital, notes: “All cardiac surgeons will know this phenomenon when the valve is ‘tripped’ open during the infusion of antegrade aortic cardioplegia.”
