Abstract
[b]CONTEXT[/b]: With ever increasing incidence of coronary heart disease, a thorough study of the coronary arteries is the need of time.[b] AIM[/b]: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the coronary dominance pattern which will help the cardiac physicians and surgeons for better diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease. [b]MATERIALS AND METHODS:[/b] The study undertaken in the Department of Anatomy, Assam Medical College included 75 perinatal and 15 adult cadaveric human hearts which were preserved in 10% formaldehyde solution after simple dissecting procedure and the dominance was noted. [b]RESULTS[/b]: In the present study, out of total of 90 cases the right coronary dominance was found to be present in 58 cases (64.44%).This included 34(60.71%) males and 24(70.59%) females. Total cases of left coronary dominance were found to be 22(24.45%). Among these, 15(26.79%) were males and 7(20.59%) were females. Finally 10(11.11%) co-dominant cases were found, of which 7 cases (12.50%) were males and 3 cases (8.82%) were females.
