title: Vascularization of atria of the human heart in relation to the type of coronary ramification.
abstract: On 130 randomized specimens of the human heart removed during autopsy from cadavers aged 19-87 years vascularization of atria of the heart in relation to the type of coronary ramification using injection-corrosion method were investigated. The left and right atrial branches were divided into anterior, intermediate, and posterior ones. The superior wall of the left atrium and the posterior wall of the right of the heart were weakly vascularized. The vascularization of the posterior wall of atria in is accord with the type of arterial supply.
