The anterior interventricular sulcus (or anterior longitudinal sulcus) is one of two grooves separating the ventricles of the heart (the other being the posterior interventricular sulcus). They can also be known as paraconal interventricular groove or subsinosal interventricular groove respectively.
The coronary sulcus (also called coronary groove, auriculoventricular groove, atrioventricular groove, AV groove) is a groove on the surface of the heart at the base of right auricle that separates the atria from the ventricles.
Interventricular groove may refer to: . Anterior interventricular sulcus, one of two grooves that separates the ventricles of the heart, near the left margin; Posterior interventricular sulcus, one of the two grooves that separates the ventricles of the heart, near the right margin
Widow maker is an alternative name for the anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery. [9] [3] The name widow maker may also apply to the left coronary artery [10] or severe occlusions to that artery. [11] [12] This term is used because the left main coronary and/or the left anterior descending supply blood to large areas of ...
Middle cardiac vein (ascends posterior interventricular sulcus to drain into coronary sinus); [6] Small cardiac vein (accompanies right coronary artery in the right atrioventricular groove to drain into the right side of the coronary sinus; [6]
The larger left anterior descending artery (LAD), is the second major branch arising from the left coronary artery. It follows the anterior interventricular sulcus around the pulmonary trunk. Along the way it gives rise to numerous smaller branches that interconnect with the branches of the posterior interventricular artery, forming anastomoses ...
The LAD travels within the interventricular groove and gives of diagonal and septal branches. Diagonal branches supply the anterior surface of the heart while septal branches supply the muscle mass of the interventricular septum; the first one supplies the atrioventricular bundle at the point of its bifurcation.
