May warrant caution in CAD assessment for hypertrophied hearts; leaves open role in intercoronary anastomoses.
Observational
Hypertrophied human hearts exhibit smaller calibre septal arteries compared to normal hearts, which may have implications for intercoronary anastomoses in coronary artery disease.
W O Odesanmi (1984) conducted an observational in Normal and hypertrophied human hearts. Cardiac hypertrophy vs. Normal hearts was evaluated on Arterial vascular pattern of the myocardium of the interventricular septum. In hypertrophied hearts, the branching and straight type arteries of the interventricular septum were of smaller calibre compared to normal hearts.
