Dr Surekha W. Meshram

Abstract :

 

Introduction: The anatomy of coronary arteries and their variations is significant for having knowledge of various heart diseases as well as proper interpretation of the coronary angiographies. In developed as well as developing countries heart diseases are one of the important cause of death. So this study is carried out to know the pattern of coronary artery dominance in Indian population and its relation to Heart Attack.  

Material and Methods: This study is carried out in 50 embalmed human hearts by fine dissection method with the help of pointed forceps. The right and left coronary artery and their anches were dissected minutely and photographed.

 Results: Right dominance was found in 34 hearts in 68%, left dominance was found 4 hearts in 8% and co–dominance was found in 6 hearts in 12%. The incidences of myocardial infarction and other heart diseases are more common with left dominance.

 

Conclusions: We found right coronary artery dominance more in this study. If the left dominance is present patient is more prone to Heart Attack. We can apply this knowledge in living subjects to overcome the morbidity and mortality in them and to help the cardiologist during routine diagnostic work up for cardiac diseases and management of these diseases
