Long-term exposure to air pollution poses an increased risk of blood clots in deep veins, which can result in serious ...

In contrast, deep veins lead to the vena cava, a large vein that transports blood to the heart. The blood in the veins of the legs works against gravity in order to return upwards to the heart. The ...

Superimposed structures, such as the atria and appendages, pulmonary trunk, and cardiac veins, can obscure the view and are preferably removed. The left coronary artery originates at the left ...

or MDCT can now be used for improved imaging of the cardiac veins. Researchers from Germany have discovered a novel, less invasive imaging technique for visualization of coronary veins.

Results: We report here for the first time a cardiac specimen with a venous channel receiving the majority of coronary veins, located in the right atrioventricular sulcus and therefore inferior to the ...

Varicose veins require thorough assessment by vascular surgeons, especially using ultrasound, to determine the underlying ...

Known as varicose veins, these blood vessels, which return blood from the legs to the heart, are actually a more superficial system. The real, working venous system for the legs lies deeper ...

December 13, 2024 – A large study found that greater exposure to long-term air pollution was linked with increased risks for ...

A large study found that greater exposure to long-term air pollution was linked with increased risks for blood clots that can occur in deep veins, which, if untreated, can block blood flow and cause ...
