"Minimal blunting of the left costophrenic sulcus" refers to a slight change in the normal sharp angle where the diaphragm meets the chest wall on the left side, which could be seen on a chest X-ray. This finding is often non-specific and can be caused by various conditions, such as lung inflammation or fluid accumulation. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.

Anterior branch of the left coronary artery lies in anterior interventricular sulcus?
Yes, the anterior branch of the left coronary artery, also known as the left anterior descending artery (LAD), courses within the anterior interventricular sulcus. This artery supplies blood to the anterior walls of the left ventricle and interventricular septum. It is a critical vessel for the heart's blood supply.
What is the interventricular sulcus?
The interventricular sulcus is a groove that separates the two ventricles of the heart: the left ventricle and the right ventricle. It contains blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
Name the depression between the two ventricles seen on the anterior surface of the heart?
The depression between the two ventricles on the anterior surface of the heart is called the interventricular sulcus or the anterior interventricular groove. It houses the anterior interventricular artery, also known as the left anterior descending artery.
What does longitudinal fissure divide?
it separates the cerebrum into left and right hemispheres.
These structures drain deoxygenated blood from the myocardium?
The coronary sinus and cardiac veins are structures that drain deoxygenated blood from the myocardium into the right atrium of the heart. This blood is then circulated to the lungs for oxygenation before returning to the heart.
Where is the lcx artery?
It follows the left part of the coronary sulcus, running first to the left and then to the right, reaching nearly as far as the posterior longitudinal sulcus.
What is partial obscuration of the left costophrenic angle?
They couldn't get a good view of the corner of your lung on the diagnostic imaging study.
What does mild blunting of CP angles bilaterally on chest x ray mean?
"Blunting of left c.p angle" can you please explain the above mentioned x-ray result. Is this is a major problem....
What is the artery that runs down the course of the anterior interventricular sulcus?
The left coronary artery
What groove separates the left and right ventricle?
the interventricular sulcus is the groove that separates the ventricles
Why would there be no deficit in sensory function after a left frontal bleed?
You have motor area in front of the central sulcus. You have sensory area behind the central sulcus. So in this type of bleeding the sensory area is not affected.
What artery runs along the coronary sulcus?
The coronary sinus runs in the posterior coronary sulcus. In the anterior coronary sulci the stems of the coronary artery run. The circumflex branch of the left and the extension of the right coronary artery that becomes the posterior descending artery run around the coronary sulcus from front to back
What branch is the left marginal artery from?
the left marginal artery is a branch of the circumflex artery originating from the posterior interventricular sulcus and traveling at a left margin of the heart towards the apex.
Anterior branch of the left coronary artery lies in anterior interventricular sulcus?
Yes, the anterior branch of the left coronary artery, also known as the left anterior descending artery (LAD), courses within the anterior interventricular sulcus. This artery supplies blood to the anterior walls of the left ventricle and interventricular septum. It is a critical vessel for the heart's blood supply.
What is the interventricular sulcus?
The interventricular sulcus is a groove that separates the two ventricles of the heart: the left ventricle and the right ventricle. It contains blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
What is the name of the artery passing inferiorly from the base of the ascending aorta and following the course of the sulcus between the right auricle and the right ventricle?
Left Pulmonary Artery
What is slight effacement of the left costophrenic angle?
This isn't my area of expertise, but I can give you an idea of what it is. The costophrenic angle is the location where the diaphragm attaches to the lower 6 ribs at approximately a 30 degree angle. Effacement normally refers to thinning and can be a thinning to the point of absense. I can only guess that "slight effacement" either refers to a thinning of the attachement to the ribs or a thinning of the diaphragm itself. My guess is a thinning of the attachement. If anyone has the answer, I would be interested in clarification also.
