3 sie 2023 · The main reference points used for the surface projections of the heart are the borders of the sternum and costal cartilages, the clavicle and intercostal spaces. The latter favour sound transmission, facilitating clinical maneuvers such as percussion, auscultation and palpation to pinpoint the cardiac location.

20 kwi 2023 · In the anatomical position, the heart has five surfaces – each formed by the different chambers of the heart: Anterior (or sternocostal) – Right ventricle. Posterior (base of the pyramid) – Left atrium.
The heart is placed in the mediastinum, between the lungs, and is encased by the pericardial sac, which has a posterior border near the spinal column and an anterior border near the sternum, with the diaphragmatic crurae on the inferior surface .
17 wrz 2004 · The right border of the heart is shown by the red dotted line, the left border, or obtuse border of the ventricular mass, by the yellow dotted line, and the diaphragmatic border, or acute border of the ventricular mass, by the green dashed line.
1 cze 2022 · The right border of the heart is shown by the red dotted line, the left border, or obtuse border of the ventricular mass, by the yellow dotted line, and the diaphragmatic border, or acute border of the ventricular mass, by the green dashed line.
3 lis 2023 · Key facts about the heart. Borders. Superior (atria, auricles), inferior (right and left ventricles), left (left auricle, left ventricle), right (right atrium) borders. Surfaces. Sternocostal (right ventricle), diaphragmatic (mostly right ventricle, portion of left ventricle), pulmonary (cardiac impression) surfaces.
This book covers the latest information on the anatomic features, underlying physiologic mechanisms, and treatments for diseases of the heart. Key chapters address animal models for cardiac research, cardiac mapping systems, heart-valve disease and genomics-based tools and technology.
