“…The left and right coronary arteries originate from the left and right aortic sinuses, respectively. They have a complex and close relationship with the ventricular outflow tracts (Anderson et al, 2018). The left main coronary artery emerges immediately posterior and inferior to the pulmonary root and divides into the left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries near the left atrioventricular sulcus (Hai et al, 2014).…”

“…The right coronary artery emerges from the right aortic sinus and initially courses anteriorly and slightly rightward, passing between the right atrial appendage and the pulmonary trunk (Anderson et al, 2018). The right coronary artery then descends inferiorly in the right atrioventricular sulcus, before curving around the inferior cardiac border toward the cardiac crux (Mori et al, 2019).…”

“…The anterior interventricular artery wraps around the lateral border of the pulmonary root adjacent to the left and non‐adjacent pulmonary sinuses before coursing inferiorly in the anterior interventricular groove toward the cardiac apex (Asirvatham, 2009). The left circumflex artery courses leftward and continues posteriorly in the left atrioventricular groove inferior to the left atrial appendage (Anderson et al, 2018).…”

Outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias are the most common type of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia. A systematic understanding of the outflow tract anatomy improves procedural efficacy and enables electrophysiologists to anticipate and prevent complications. This review emphasizes the three‐dimensional spatial relationships between the ventricular outflow tracts using seven anatomical principles. In turn, each principle is elaborated on from a clinical perspective relevant for the practicing electrophysiologist. The developmental anatomy of the outflow tracts is also discussed and reinforced with a clinical case.

“…By virtue of this arrangement, crescents of myocardium are incorporated at the bases of each of the sinuses of the pulmonary root (Fig. ; Anderson et al, , c). In the aortic root, however, because of the fibrous continuity found posteriorly between the leaflets of the aortic and mitral valves, myocardium is incorporated into the bases of only the two valvar sinuses that give rise to the coronary arteries (Figs.…”

The heart is a remarkably complex organ. Teaching its details to medical students and clinical trainees can be very difficult. Despite the complexity, accurate recognition of these details is a pre‐requisite for the subsequent understanding of clinical cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. A recent publication promoted the benefits of virtual reconstructions in facilitating the initial understanding achieved by medical students. If such teaching is to achieve its greatest value, the datasets used to provide the virtual images should themselves be anatomically accurate. They should also take note of a basic rule of human anatomy, namely that components of all organs should be described as they are normally situated within the body. It is almost universal at present for textbooks of anatomy to illustrate the heart as if removed from the body and positioned on its apex, the so‐called Valentine situation. In the years prior to the emergence of interventional techniques to treat cardiac diseases, this approach was of limited significance. Nowadays, therapeutic interventions are commonplace worldwide. Advances in three‐dimensional imaging technology, furthermore, now mean that the separate components of the heart can readily be segmented, and then shown in attitudinally appropriate fashion. In this review, we demonstrate how such virtual dissection of computed tomographic datasets in attitudinally appropriate fashion reveals the true details of cardiac anatomy. The virtual approach to teaching the arrangement of the cardiac components has much to commend it. If it is to be used, nonetheless, the anatomical details on which the reconstructions are based must be accurate. Clin. Anat. 32:288–309, 2019. © 2019 The Authors.
