Knowledge of the anatomical variants of the sinoatrial node artery is important to enhance cardiac surgery and elucidate the pathogenesis of supraventricular arrhythmias. AIM: To explore and clarify the number, variants, location, and course of sinoatrial node arteries in the heart of middle-aged and older individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 62 formalin-fixed hearts of humans who died from noncardiac causes, the sinoatrial node arteries were dissected and measured using an electronic caliper. Histologically, the location of the artery into the sinoatrial node was clarified through hematoxylin and eosin and Masson trichrome staining. RESULTS: The number of sinoatrial node arteries varied from 1 (86.6%) to 3 (1.7%). Commonly, sinoatrial node arteries arose from the right coronary artery (66.7%) between the aortic root and right atrial appendage or from the proximal part of the left circumflex artery (28.3%)....

To establish structural features and adjacent anatomy of myocardial loops in the adult and elderly human hearts. Methods. We studied 100 hearts obtained from adult and elderly people who died from non-cardiac causes. We dissected subepicardial blood vessels and their intramural segments on 60 formalin-fixed hearts. The rate of the cone artery directly originating in the aorta (third coronary artery) was recorded. The number of myocardial loops, their localization and length were determined. We made histological sections from 40 heart specimens from areas of the coronary groove containing myocardial loops. The shortest distances from the coronary sinus and myocardium of the left atrium to the artery, the thickness of the loops, the cross-sectional area of the artery and perivascular space and the ratio of these parameters were measured. The statistical significance of differences was assessed by using the MannWhitney U-test. The relationship between the two qualitative features ...

VS breadth appears to be less than its length, but is more than the breadth of the medial walls of both ventricles. The outlet length surpasses the inlet one more on the right than on the left septal side. On transversal sections the angle between IS departments is 122 — 139°. The angle degree increases from the basis to the apex of the heart. The angle between the longest axes of the right surface divisions is 38 — 42°. The length proportions of the IS departments become constant to the middle fetal period. The sinus part of the IS is square or multiangular (often four- or five-angular) and along the bloodstream. The development of the sinus part is coordinated with formation of the inlet trabecular part. The conal part is the smallest one. The conal development in the middle fetal period has not been completed yet. Size proportions of ...

We studied 40 hearts weighing 200-420 g, obtained from patients who died from non-cardiac causes. We dissected 30 non-injected macroscopic specimens preserved into 4% PBS formalin to reveal and measure coronary sinus and neighboring coronary arteries. The rest 10 hearts we used for preparing histological slices from the points of the beginning of the sinus, in the middle, and near the “crux cordis”. We measured large and small diameters, circumference, wall thickness of the coronary sinus, as well as explored relative position of the coronary sinus, adjacent arteries, left atrium and left fibrous ring. The reference range of coronary sinus length was 33.76-48.4 ...

Цель - выявить варианты строения и внутриорганной топографии устьев венечных артерий у взрослого ... more Цель - выявить варианты строения и внутриорганной топографии устьев венечных артерий у взрослого человека при разных типах кровоснабжения желудочкового комплекса сердца. Материал и методы. На вскрытых через некоронарные синусы аорты 65 препаратах клапанов аорты взрослых людей изучили положение устьев венечных артерий, штангенциркулем измеряли минимальный и максимальный диаметры каждого устья, определяли их форму по соотношению диаметров. Результаты. Для устьев обеих артерий типичной была округлая, реже овальная форма. В большинстве случаев левая венечная артерия начиналась в центральной трети, правая - в центральной или задней трети «своего» синуса на уровне верхнего края полулунной заслонки или между ним и синотубулярным соединением. Локализация устьев в пределах синусов, на уровне синотубулярного соединения или выше него была редкой для обеих артерий. В 20 % случаев в правом синусе аорты спереди от устья правой венечной артерии имелось устье конусной артерии. Выводы. Типичные и ре...

VS breadth appears to be less than its length, but is more than the breadth of the medial walls of both ventricles. The outlet length surpasses the inlet one more on the right than on the left septal side. On transversal sections the angle between IS departments is 122 — 139°. The angle degree increases from the basis to the apex of the heart. The angle between the longest axes of the right surface divisions is 38 — 42°. The length proportions of the IS departments become constant to the middle fetal period. The sinus part of the IS is square or multiangular (often four- or five-angular) and along the bloodstream. The development of the sinus part is coordinated with formation of the inlet trabecular part. The conal part is the smallest one. The conal development in the middle fetal period has not been completed yet. Size proportions of ...

The study was aimed to investigate the location of the trabeculae in the RV outlet portion. 101 human hearts from fetuses aged 17-28 weeks without anomalies and growth retardation were investigated with the stereomicroscope and ocular micrometer. The septomarginal trabecula (SMT) was located in the RV outlet and always was an oriented structure. The anterior branch of SMT was found in 77.8% of cases and it was always directed towards the pulmonary trunk. The posterior branch was directed towards the membranous septum. Septoparietal trabeculae (PT) connected the anterior margin of SMT with the anterior wall of RV. Several patterns of the relative PT and SMT position have been described. In 48.1% the first (closest to SMT) PT was located parallel to the anterior margin of SMT. Less frequently it entered the anterior marg...
