Where is the septal perforating artery located?
Septal perforating arteries are located within the interventricular septum, arising perpendicularly from the left anterior descending artery and penetrating into the septal myocardium.
What is the function of the septal perforating artery?
The septal perforating artery is involved in delivering oxygenated blood to the myocardium of the interventricular septum, including the conduction system components such as the bundle branches that are located there.
What conditions may be associated with the septal perforating artery?
Anterior myocardial infarction due to left anterior descending artery occlusion, ventricular septal defect post-infarction, or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy treated with alcohol septal ablation may involve the septal perforating arteries.
How is the septal perforating artery examined?
