With the increasing trends of coronary heart diseases, the knowledge of variations in the coronary arteries is of paramount importance when considering the various surgical procedures. This study was conducted to know the variations in coronary artery dominance pattern. 77 formalin fixed hearts were dissected. Origin and area of distribution of posterior interventricular artery and SA nodal artery were noted. In 64 hearts (83.11%) posterior inter ventricular artery was a branch of right coronary artery and in 13 hearts (16.88%) it was a branch of left circumflex artery. SA nodal artery was a branch of dominant artery in 46 hearts (59.74%). It arose from non-dominant artery in 29 hearts (37.66%). In the remaining 2 hearts (2.6%) SA nodal artery was a branch from both.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
