    The anatomy of the veins of the heart is very variable, but generally it is formed by the following veins: heart veins that go into the coronary sinus: the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the small cardiac vein, the posterior vein of the left ventricle, and the oblique vein of the left atrium (oblique vein of Marshall). Heart veins ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance_(physiology)

    Veins have a much higher compliance than arteries (largely due to their thinner walls.) Veins which are abnormally compliant can be associated with edema . Pressure stockings are sometimes used to externally reduce compliance, and thus keep blood from pooling in the legs.

    The veins will empty due to gravity or with the assistance of the examiner's hand squeezing blood towards the heart. [citation needed] A tourniquet is then applied around the upper thigh to compress the superficial veins but not too tight as to occlude the deeper veins. The leg is then lowered by asking the patient to stand. [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank–Starling_law

    Due to the intrinsic property of myocardium that is responsible for the Frank-Starling mechanism, the heart can automatically accommodate an increase in venous return, at any heart rate. [ 1 ] [ 10 ] The mechanism is of functional importance because it serves to adapt left ventricular output to right ventricular output. [ 3 ]
