Q

Borders of heart

A

Right = RA + SVC + IVC
Left = LV + arch of aorta + pulmonary trunk
Inferior = RV + LV at apex
Superior = RA + LA. Aorta + pulmonary trunk exit from this border, vena cava enters.

Q

Serous pericardium

A

Inner visceral layer: adheres to heart + is continuous
Outer parietal layer: lines fibrous pericardium.

16
Q

Transverse pericardial sinus

A

Reflection around arteries + veins. Finger placed in transverse sinus separates arteries from veins + allows for control of blood leaving the heart.

17
Q

Pericardial effusion?

A

Accumulation of excess fluid in pericardial activity.
Can occur due to pericarditis.
Can compress heart (cardiac tamponade) - fluid can be removed by inserting a needle into the pericardial sac through an intercostal space.

18
Q

Coronary sulcus

A

Separates atria + ventricles
Encircules heart.
Anterior part separates right atrium from right ventricle
Posterior part separates left atrium from left ventricle.

19
Q

Interventricular sulci

A

Separate right and left ventricles

20
Q

Superior vena cava

A

Returns blood from upper body

21
Q

Inferior vena cava

A

Returns blood from lower half of body. Passes through an opening in central tendon of diaphragm and opens into inferior part of right atrium

22
Q

Pulmonary trunk

A

Leaves superior part of right ventricle. Winds up + backwards on left side of ascending aorta + divides under aortic arch into right + left branches.

23
Q

Pulmonary veins

A

Enter left atrium

24
Q

Ascending aorta

A

Leaves left ventricle

25
Q

Ligamentum arteriosum

A

Remains of embryonic connection between pulmonary trunk + aortic arch.

26
Q

Branches of right coronary artery

A
  • Artery to SA node
  • Right marginal artery
  • AV nodal branch
  • Posterior interventricular artery/ posterior descending artery: descends in IV groove towards apex and supplies RV, LV, IV septum. Near apex it anastomoses with circumflex + anterior interventricular branches of LCA
27
Q

RCA supplies:

A

RA, RV, LV, some of La, interatrial septum, part of IV septum, SA node, AV node

28
Q

Branches of left coronary artery

A
  • Anterior interventricular/ left anterior descending: runs along anterior interventricular groove to apex. At apex it turns around inferior border + anastomoses with posterior interventricular branch of RCA. Gives rise to the diagonal artery and supplies RV + LV + IV septum.
  • Circumflex artery. Runs in coronary groove around left border of heart to posterior surface. Terminates on posterior aspect of heart + anastomoses with posterior interventricular branch of RCA. Gives rise to left marginal artery
29
Q

LCA supplies

A

Most of LA, LV part of RV, most of IV septum, SA node.

30
Q

Which artery is most commonly affected by ischaemic heart disease

A

Anterior interventricular/ left anterior descending

31
Q

The two main anastomoses in the coronary circulation occur between:

A
  • Right coronary artery and the left circumflex artery
  • Anterior and posterior interventricular arteries.
32
Q
A
33
Q

What is the fibrous pericardium attached to?

A
  • Central tendon of diaphragm
  • Sternopericardial ligaments
34
Q

What does the phrenic innervate in the heart?

A

Fibrous pericardium and parietal layer of serous pericardium

35
Q

Which artery is most commonly affected by ischaemic heart disease?

A

LAD
