An enlarged representation of the cardiac veins and coronary arteries extending around the exterior of the heart, which circulate blood to and from the muscles of the heart. The cardiac veins and coronary arteries are narrow vessels commonly affected by atherosclerosis. If the veins and arteries of the heart become blocked, angina or a heart attack can result.
The Coronary Arteries and Cardiac Veins model also depicts an inserted stent and a dissected coronary occlusion. The model comes on a stand with a two-sided colour key card, featuring heart anatomy and information on coronary occlusion and stents. An ideal tool to discuss the blood supply to the heart and the pathologies affecting it.
This range of models by GPI Anatomicals has been designed for patient education.
