24 lip 2023 · Middle Cardiac Vein. The middle cardiac vein originates from the apex of the heart but on the posterior side. The middle cardiac vein travels alongside the posterior interventricular artery in the posterior interventricular sulcus, and empties deoxygenated blood into the coronary sinus. Small Cardiac Vein
The posterior interventricular sulcus or posterior longitudinal sulcus is one of the two grooves separating the ventricles of the heart (the other being the anterior interventricular sulcus). They can be known as subsinosal interventricular groove or paraconal interventricular groove respectively.
13 lip 2023 · At the cardiac crux, the vessel then turns to travel down the interventricular groove and is now referred to as the posterior interventricular or posterior descending artery. It may persist as a solitary vessel, or accompanied unilaterally or bilaterally by one or two parallel derivatives from the right coronary artery.
24 lip 2023 · The posterior interventricular artery runs alongside the middle cardiac vein down the posterior interventricular sulcus and supplies the AV node, the posterior 1/3 of the interventricular septum, the posterior 2/3 walls of the ventricles, and is the only vessel supplying the posteromedial papillary muscle.
20 cze 2023 · The middle cardiac vein or posterior interventricular vein is a vein of the heart which accompanies the posterior interventricular artery. It courses in the posterior interventricular groove and drains directly into the coronary sinus close to it’s termination.
Definition. The posterior interventricular sulcus is a groove on the heart's surface, marking the boundary between the left and right ventricles on the posterior aspect. It houses important blood vessels that supply the heart muscle.
