title: The sinuatrial nodal artery in the human heart.
abstract: Studies were performed on 12th hearts taken from cadavers of adults of both sexes. The corrosive technique was used. Arteries were filled with vinyl polychloride or Plastogen G from the side of aortic sinuses. The sino-atrial nodal artery arose as the anterior, intermediate and posterior atrial branches both from the right coronary artery and the left coronary artery. In 51.7% of the hearts the sino-atrial nodal artery formed the arterial circle at the base of the superior vena cava.
