[Anatomy of the sinoatrial node and the supply of its vascularization in man].
Seventy heart preparations of persons belonging to different sex and age have been investigated, using a complex of anatomical and histological techniques. The dimensions of the sinoatrial node (SAN) vary with age and depend on various size and form of the heart. The large atrial branch of the right and left coronary arteries supplies mainly the SAN with blood. More seldom the atrial branches of both cardiac arteries, having anastomoses, realize the SAN blood supply. The character of the SAN vascularization depends on branching variations of the atrial vessels. At the right coronary variant the sources of the SAN blood supply are the SAN branch, the right intermediate or right posterior atrial branches, and at the left coronary variant--the anterior left, the posterior left and the intermediate left atrial branches. At the even variant the SAN blood supply sources are the right intermediate and the anterior left atrial or the right posterior and the left posterior atrial branches. The data obtained can be used for comparison with the results of coronography to make a skilled analysis of clinical-roentgenological observations.
