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 anterior cardiac veins (or anterior veins of right ventricle) are a variable number of small veins (usually 2-5) [1] which drain blood from the anterior portion of the right ventricle into the right atrium. [1] [2]
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 ...
These include the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the small cardiac vein, the smallest cardiac veins, and the anterior cardiac veins. Cardiac veins carry blood with a poor level of oxygen, from the myocardium to the right atrium. Most of the blood of the coronary veins returns through the coronary sinus.
The great cardiac vein (left coronary vein) is a vein of the heart.It begins at the apex of the heart and ascends along the anterior interventricular sulcus [1] before joining the oblique vein of the left atrium to form the coronary sinus [2] upon the posterior surface of the heart.

The coronary sinus receives blood mainly from the small, middle, great, [2] and oblique cardiac veins. It also receives blood from the left marginal vein and the left posterior ventricular vein. [citation needed] Great cardiac vein (run upwards in the anterior interventricular sulcus to the left atrioventricular groove to form the coronary ...
The right coronary sulcus begins anteriorly and superiorly on the sternocostal surface of the heart. Its position is marked by the location of the right coronary artery, and small cardiac vein. The right coronary sulcus separates the right atrium and its atrial appendage from the right ventricle inferiorly. The right coronary sulcus then passes ...
