Surface anatomy of the heart including the surfaces, vessels, and borders. Apex of heart Apex cordis 1/6 Synonyms: none The apex of the heart is formed by the inferolateral region of the left ventricle.It lies posterior to the left 5th intercostal space in adults, typically about 9 cm...

(rather than subepicardially, like the sinus node) within the triangle of Koch. The triangle of Koch is the anatomic region bordered by the tricuspid annulus (of the septal tricuspid leaflet), the ostium of the coronary sinus, and the tendon of Todaro (described above). The apex of the ...
Occasionally, two adequately sized ventricles are present but their anatomy prevents septation (e.g., straddling AV valves or very large VSDs). Because of its complexity, systematic segmental analysis should be performed. Important aspects include assessing the AV connections and whether there are ...
IN MAN. The human heart is asymmetrically located in the thoracic cavity, with one-third to the right of the midline of the body and two-thirds to the left. The base of the heart is directed upward, backward, and to the right, and the apex is directed downward, forward, and to the...
The appearance of endocardial sprouting into the cardiac jelly marks the morphological formation of the embryonic right ventricle at the apex of the heart loop, and in a dorsal position relative to the left ventricle (Fig.2). The endocardial sprouts also demarcate the left and right boundaries...
This section highlights the anatomy and imaging pearls of the most common CHDs. Detection of these lesions can most easily be accomplished by use of sweeps through the heart that are centered on the key views listed earlier. Ventricular Septal Defect Definition. A VSD is a communication betw...
All sheep were instrumented through a left thoracotomy; a left ventricular (LV) solid-state electronic pressure transducer (4.0 or 4.5 mm, Konigsberg, CA) was placed into LV at its apex and chronic, heparinized (1000 U/mL) fluid filled catheters (Tygon) were inserted for monitoring of ...
The repeatability (intraday variation) and reproducibility (interday variation) of the systolic strain and strain rate, of both the left and the right ventricular free wall (at the base and apex), were studied in the awake dog for the first time by our team in 2006 [55]. For the ...
Functional Anatomy of the Heart Structurally, the heart consists of four chambers: two thin-walled atria and two thick-walled ventricles (Figure 6.1). The heart can also be divided into two anatomical sections, the base, which is formed by the atria and great arteries, and the apex, whic...
