title: The intervenous tubercle (of lower): morphological characteristics and changes in relation to age.
abstract: We have studied the morphological, macroscopic and structural characteristics of the intervenous tubercle (of Lower) in 100 human hearts, relating these to age and to the thickness of the epicardial fat. The morphological characteristics vary depending on age, these changes being attributable to a deposition of fat following the deposit of adipose tissue occurring in the epicardium.
