  2. Cardiac skeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_skeleton

    The cardiac skeleton separates and partitions the atria (the smaller, upper two chambers) from the ventricles (the larger, lower two chambers). The heart's cardiac skeleton comprises four dense connective tissue rings that encircle the mitral and tricuspid atrioventricular (AV) canals and extend to the origins of the pulmonary trunk and aorta.

    The four cardiac valves are kept in their place partly because of the fibrous skeleton of the heart, which is a collection of connective tissue. It consists of the right fibrous trigone (which along with the membranous septum forms the central fibrous body), the left right fibrous trigone, and the conus tendon. The right fibrous trigone is the ...

    Regardless of the pathway, as the impulse reaches the atrioventricular septum, the connective tissue of the cardiac skeleton prevents the impulse from spreading into the myocardial cells in the ventricles except at the atrioventricular node. [1] The electrical event, the wave of depolarization, is the trigger for muscular contraction.

    CABG is also performed when a patient is to undergo another cardiac surgical procedure, most commonly for valve disease, and angiography reveals a significant lesion of the coronary arteries. [9] CABG can also address dissection of coronary arteries, where a rupture of the coronary layers creates a pseudo- lumen (cavity) and diminishes blood ...

    The coronary sinus commences at the union of the great cardiac vein, and the oblique vein of the left atrium. [1] [3] [4] The origin of the coronary sinus is marked by the Vieussens valve of the coronary sinus which is situated at the endpoint of the great cardiac vein. [1]
