“…The coronary arteries of man have been the subject of much study in the past because of the major role they play in ischemic heart disease [1][2][3][4][5]. Our present understanding of this role, however, is still fairly qualitative, being based essentially on whether vessels appear to be patent or occluded.…”

Detailed measurements of vessel lengths and diameters from the coronary network of the human heart are presented. To allow accurate definition of length and diameter, the measurements were made in terms of vessel segments rather than whole vessels. A vessel segment was defined to be the interval between two consecutive branching sites. The results provide the first quantitative description of the coronary network. The new concept of vessel segment and the method of analysis are proposed as a means for (a) an accurate description of the branching characteristics of the coronary network, (b) comparing the network with others in the cardiovascular system and (c) comparing the vasculature in the normal versus that in the diseased heart.

“…The systematic search is summarised in Figure 1. (10)(11)(12)(13). A 1943 study concluded that inducing severe RVMI in dogs produced no haemodynamic compromise; this was subsequently supported by a 1952 study (also of induced infarction in dogs) which went as far as to conclude "a normal, contractile right ventricular wall is not necessary for the maintenance of a normal circulation" (12,13).…”

Right Ventricular Myocardial Infarction and Adverse Events from Nitrates: A Narrative Review

Introduction There is ubiquitous belief that right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) patients are pre-load dependent, and that administering nitrates to this cohort may cause adverse events – most notably hypotension. This article charts a narrative history of RVMI and nitrates: from the initial recognition of RVMI and early support of the use of nitrates, through the spread of the view against nitrates, and to the recent publication of evidence once again supporting their use. Methods Four databases were systematically searched (PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science) and results screened by title, then abstract, and finally full text. Results were presented using a chronological narrative structure. Results The view against the use of nitrates during RVMI can be traced back to a single 1989 cohort study of 28 patients, then later being adopted by a series of influential secondary evidence papers, and ultimately by international guidelines. In 2016, 2017 and 2019, new cohort studies totalling 1046 patients were presented, all of which concluded that nitrates are safe to administer during RVMI. Conclusion This article charts how a single retrospective cohort study with low statistical power came to form the dominant narrative on best practice despite complex and conflicting primary evidence.

“…This view soon conflicted with the high incidence of coronary heart disease, however, where it has been established clearly that the obstruction or stenosis of a coronary artery is strongly linked to myocardial ischemia and that the phenomenon is far from rare [13,[26][27][28][29][30]. Attempts to explain this conflict continue today [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], with no conclu-sive explanation as yet.…”

Summary. Blood supply to the heart for its own metabolic needs is discussed in terms of the vascular system which provides this supply within the framework of the systemic circulation. A brief description of these (coronary) vessels is given in the classical! anatomical tradition, but more emphasis is placed on their functional arrangement. A possible functional design of the coronary system underlying the wide variability in its anatomical details is discussed. Other features also discussed are left/right dominance, collateral circulation, and the special flow conditions under which the coronary vessels function.
