TLDR
The blood supply of the interventricular septum has been studied in 43 normal human hearts, from patients dying of noncardiac causes, and its clinical importance is discussed.
Abstract
The blood supply of the interventricular septum has been studied in 43 normal human hearts, from patients dying of noncardiac causes. The specimens were prepared by injection of vinylite into the coronary arteries. Description is made of the normal vascular anatomy of this area, and its clinical importance is discussed.

Right ventricular infarction. Clinical and hemodynamic features.

TL;DR: Six patients with acute myocardial infarction presented with hemodynamic evidence of predominant right ventricular failure, characterized by a mean right atrial pressure averaging 20.2 mm Hg and left ventricular filling pressure averaging 16.3mm Hg are suggested to have a unique clinical and hemodynamic syndrome.

Right ventricular infarction. Clinical diagnosis and differentiation from cardiac tamponade and pericardial constriction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used invasive and non-invasive techniques that exclude the presence of pericardial fluid and suggest enlargement and abnormal contractility of the right ventricle to distinguish right ventricular infarction from cardiac tamponade.

Distribution and anomalies of coronary arteries in tetralogy of fallot.

TL;DR: The onset of left anterior hemiblock after total correction of TF could possibly be explained, in cases with a dominant left pattern, by injury to the coronary system after closure of the interventricular septal defect, rather than by injury of the conduction system.

The incidence and mortality of intraventricular conduction defects in acute myocardial infarction

TL;DR: The incidence of intraventricular conduction defects during sinus mechanism was 24 percent in 212 consecutive cases of acute myocardial infarction observed in a coronary care unit.

Site of Heart Block in Acute Myocardial Infarction

TL;DR: Electrophysiologic observations coupled with previous clinical, anatomic, and pathologic findings suggest that the heart block in DMI is usually due to an ischemic lesion of the A-V node, whileheart block in AMI is due to necrosis involving both bundle branches.

The atrial coronary arteries in man.

TL;DR: An anatomic study of the atrial coronary arteries in 43 fresh normal human hearts is described and the implications for clinical problems facing the cardiologist and the cardiovascular surgeon are discussed.
