Background: In cardiology, the paths of the arteries penetrating the septomarginal trabecula (SMT) are especially important. They provide blood supply to the apparatus of the right atrioventricular orifice and often form anastomoses with the system of the right coronary artery. Despite this, only a few publications discuss the morphological aspect of the septomarginal trabecula, and available histological analyses seldom deal with its blood supply.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the vessel structure of the septomarginal trabecula in terms of the variability of the area of the cross-section of the lumen and the muscular layer of the artery.
Material And Methods: The study was carried out on the material of 50 human hearts from adults of both sexes. The material was divided into 4 morphological types. Histological examinations were conducted by means of classic staining methods.
Results: At the initial cross-section of the septomarginal trabecula, the area of the cross-section increased to half of the length of the trabecula, and then it started to decrease. This is connected with the thickening of the inner muscular layer of the artery, which proportionally takes up more area of the cross-section of the whole artery of the SMT. The total area of the cross-section of all vessels in both types examined was also the largest in the middle part of the SMT. Furthermore, the results of this study confirm the presence of a connection between both systems of coronary arteries.
Conclusions: As the septomarginal trabecula passes through the lumen of the right ventricle, its arteries become exposed to the influence of the factors which may evoke a biological response from the walls of this vessel, causing the thickening of the muscular layer and, as a result, of the section of the whole artery, in particular its middle part.

To understand the position of a pacing lead in the right ventricle and to correctly interpret fluoroscopy and intracardiac signals, good anatomical knowledge is required. The right ventricle can be separated into an inlet, an outlet, and an apical compartment. The inlet and outlet are separated by the septomarginal trabeculae, while the apex is situated below the moderator band.

This study was conducted to reveal the anatomical and histological features of left and right septomarginal trabeculae in the heart of the Hatay mountain gazelle. In the study, two female and two male adult Hatay mountain gazelle hearts were used. For this purpose, the materials detected in 10% formaldehyde solution were stained with Crossman's modified triple staining technique and examined under a light microscope after anatomical examinations and measurements were made.

A moderator band, also known as the septomarginal trabecula, is a group of muscle bundles located in the ventricle of almost all human hearts. The morphology of the moderator band has various forms and several studies have focused mostly on its structure. Thus, in the present study, we sought to study the morphology and morphometry of the moderator band and tried to rearrange the criteria based on the previous studies to classify the moderator band in Thais.

A partial atrioventricular septal defect, represented as a large ostium primum atrial septal defect and common (bridging) atrioventricular valve leaflets with cleft septal leaflet of the mitral valve, was diagnosed incidentally in a nine-year-old warmblood gelding used for show jumping. Initial examination findings and a three-year follow-up are documented in this report. The horse was first presented for the evaluation of chronic coughing.

The use of hearts from different animals as models in the experimental pharmacology and surgical clinic has led, in recent years, to an increase on interest of research with this organ. The heart's conducting system, from the septomarginal trabecula, presents several variations, which generates numerous controversies in the literature. So, the objective of the present study is to analyse the morphology of the septomarginal trabecula of bovine hearts, identifying possible macro- and microscopic variations.
