They can be known as subsinosal interventricular groove or paraconal interventricular groove respectively. It is located on the diaphragmatic surface of the heart [1] [2] near the right margin. [2] It extends between the coronary sulcus and the (notch of [2]) apex of the heart. It contains the posterior interventricular artery and middle ...
The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...
It extends between the coronary sulcus, and the apex of the heart; [1] upon reaching the diaphragmatic surface of the heart, it ends at the notch of cardiac apex. [3] It contains the anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery, and great cardiac vein. [1] [2]
The crux cordis or crux of the heart (from Latin "crux" meaning "cross") is the area on the lower back side of the heart where the coronary sulcus (the groove separating the atria from the ventricles) and the posterior interventricular sulcus (the groove separating the left from the right ventricle) meet. [1]
It extends from a point in the second left intercostal space, about 2.5 mm. from the sternal margin, obliquely downward, with a convexity to the left, to the apex of the heart. This is contrasted with the acute margin of the heart, which is at the border of the anterior and posterior surface, and in which the acute marginal branch of the right ...

The anterior interventricular sulcus and posterior interventricular sulcus extend from the base of the ventricular portion to a notch, the notch of cardiac apex, (or incisura apicis cordis) on the acute margin of the heart just to the right of the apex.
In relation to the rib cage, the coronary sulcus spans from the medial side of the 3rd left costal cartilage, to the middle of the right 6th costal cartilage. [1] Epicardial fat tends to be concentrated along the coronary sulcus. [4] [5] There are two coronary sulci in the heart, including left and right coronary sulci.
