Abstract

In presenting the essentials of cardiac anatomy for healthcare workers, this article aims to demystify the arrangement of cardiac chambers and valves one to the other. In so doing, it provides better understanding of imaging previously seen in 2 dimensions and in 3 dimensions in the current era. Fundamental to this is the central location of the aorta in relation to all four cardiac chambers. Furthermore, recognition of cardiac chambers is based on distinguishing morphological components irrespective of their location in the heart. Morphological criteria are especially useful in understanding of congenitally malformed hearts.
