Interventricular groove Dorsal

The dorsal interventricular groove (sulcus interventricularis dorsalis) is a groove on the surface of the heart that separates the anterior and posterior walls of the left ventricle. It is located between the interventricular septum and the posterior wall of the left ventricle and is about 2 cm long.

The dorsal interventricular groove plays an important role in the functioning of the heart. It ensures the division of the left ventricular cavity into two chambers - anterior and posterior. In the anterior chamber the ventricle contracts, and in the posterior chamber it fills with blood. In addition, the groove facilitates the movement of blood from one ventricle to another, which helps maintain a normal heart rhythm.

If the dorsal interventricular groove is damaged or absent, this can lead to disruption of the heart and the development of various diseases such as heart failure, arrhythmia and others. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of this groove and, if necessary, carry out treatment.

To diagnose the dorsal interventricular groove, various methods are used, including cardiac ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and others. Treatment may include surgical correction or drug therapy. However, in most cases, a healthy lifestyle and regular medical monitoring are sufficient to maintain normal heart function.
