Abstract

Twenty hearts of adult ovines, seventeen males and three females had been studied, of the Ideal race, without apparent cardiac pathology, with the objective to observe the frequency and the width, as well as the location, of the myocardium bridges. For the macroscopic study the hearts had had its coronary arteries injected with Neoprene solu¬tion latex 450, and after had been fixed in watery solution of Formol 10%. It was verified that the myocardium bridges had occurred in 100% of the observed hearts, with width varying of 1,10cm 6,25cm, average of 2,28cm; in ventricles with average height of 7,82cm. It was also verified that most of the myocardium bridges had occurred in 96% in the paraconal branch of the left coronary artery and in 4 % in the circumflexus branch of the same one. KEY-WORDS: Anatomy, heart, myocardium bridges, ovines.
