AB A  thorough  knowledge  of  the  anatomy  of  the  heart  is  a  prerequisite  for  the  successful  completion  of  the  myriad  procedures  performed  by  the  cardiothoracic  surgeon.  This  chapter  describes  the  normal  anatomy  of  the  heart,  including  its  position  and  relationship  to  other  thoracic  organs.  It  also  describes  the  incisions  used  to  expose  the  heart  for  various  operations,  and  discusses  in  detail  the  cardiac  chambers  and  valves,  coronary  arteries  and  veins,  and  the  important  but  surgically  invisible  conduction  tissues.
