great cardiac vein

The anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery runs in the sulcus along with the great cardiac vein.

These include the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the small cardiac vein and the anterior cardiac veins.

The Vieussens valve of the coronary sinus is a valve and anatomic landmark between the coronary sinus and the great cardiac vein.

Its wall is partly muscular, and at its junction with the great cardiac vein is somewhat constricted and furnished with a valve consisting of two unequal segments.

The Great Cardiac Vein (left coronary vein) begins at the apex of the heart and ascends along the anterior longitudinal sulcus to the base of the ventricles.

The Posterior Vein of the Left Ventricle runs on the diaphragmatic surface of the left ventricle to the coronary sinus, but may end in the great cardiac vein.

The great cardiac vein receives tributaries from the left atrium and from both ventricles: one, the left marginal vein, is of considerable size, and ascends along the left margin of the heart.
