Study Notes
Inter-ventricular Septum: Definition
- It is the muscular wall that separates the heart's two ventricles.
Location
- Located between the Left ventricle and Right ventricle.
- It extends from the lower part of the heart to the base of the ventricles.
Function
- Prevents the mixing of oxygenated blood (left ventricle) and deoxygenated blood (right ventricle).
- It has a vital role in ventricular contraction. It helps in maintaining the pumping pressure of the blood.
Structure
- It consists of a heart muscle, more profound on the left side.
- It is separated into two parts:
Membranous Portion
- Found at the top and composed of connective tissue.
Muscular Portion
- Contains the heart muscle, bigger on the left ventricle.
Pathological Concerns
- Congenital malformations (e.g. interventricular communication), which can lead to blood circulation problems.
- It can be affected by some heart conditions, such as left ventricular hypertrophy.
Blood Supply
- It gets blood flow from the coronary arteries. Especially, the anterior interventricular artery and the posterior interventricular artery.
Electrophysiological Role
- Contains specialized structures (e.g. bundle of His) that transmit electrical impulses, ensuring a coordinated ventricular contraction.
Interventricular Septum
- The interventricular septum is a muscular wall that separates the two ventricles of the heart, the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
- The interventricular septum is composed of two parts:
- Muscular interventricular septum: Primarily made of cardiac muscle.
- Membranous interventricular septum: The upper, thinner part, made of connective tissue.
- The septum prevents mixing of oxygenated blood (left ventricle) and deoxygenated blood (right ventricle).
- It plays a role in heart contraction, contributing to the efficiency of blood pumping.
- The interventricular septum is vascularized by the coronary arteries (anterior interventricular artery and posterior interventricular artery).
- Congenital defects: Such as ventricular septal defect (VSD), where an abnormal opening develops in the septum.
- Hypertrophy: Thickening of the septum can occur in certain heart diseases, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
- Clinical importance: Assessment of the interventricular septum is crucial during echocardiographic exams and other imaging modalities for diagnosing heart conditions.
- The proper functioning of the septum is essential for synchronized contraction of the ventricles, which is crucial for efficient blood flow.
Interventicular Septum
- The interventicular septum is the muscular wall separating the heart's two ventricles: left and right ventricle.
- Located centrally within the heart, extending from the base to the apex.
- Primarily composed of heart muscle (myocardium).
- Divided into two main parts:
Membranous Part
- The upper section, thinner and more flexible.
Muscular Part
- The lower section, thicker and more robust.
- Prevents the mixing of oxygenated blood (left ventricle) and deoxygenated blood (right ventricle).
- Essential for heart contraction, contributing to efficient blood pumping.
- Can be affected by various conditions:
Interventicular Septum Defect (VSD)
- A congenital malformation where a hole in the septum allows blood to flow between the ventricles, potentially causing circulatory complications.
Septal Hypertrophy
- Thickening of the septum, often associated with cardiac conditions such as hypertension.
- Evaluated using echocardiograms (echocardiography) to detect abnormalities.
- Significantly relevant during cardiac surgery for patients with congenital defects.
- Understanding the anatomy and function of the interventicular septum is crucial for diagnosing and treating heart conditions.
