Right –left propensity of cardiogenic cerebral embolism in standard versus bovine aortic arch variant
Left‐hemispheric ischemic strokes are more frequent overall and often have a worse outcome than their right‐hemispheric counterparts. We hypothesized that the right‐left propensity of CE cerebral infarcts differs between patients with standard and bovine arch variants. We retrospectively identified all patients with acute stroke of the anterior circulation admitted to our primary stroke center between January 2011 and June 2017 who had moderate‐ to high‐risk cardio‐embolic sources according to the SSS‐TOAST classification. From amongst these patients, only those with available cross‐sectional imaging of the...

Right ‐Left Propensity of Cardiogenic Cerebral Embolism in Standard versus Bovine Aortic Arch Variant
Conclusion: No statistically significant difference in embolic stroke laterality was demonstrated in our relatively small sample. Bovine arch could be an independent risk factor for cardio‐embolic embolism. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

The clinical anatomy of the right ventricle
Because the systemic and pulmonary circulations are arranged in series, the right and left ventricles of the human heart have similar stroke volumes (with only minute beat‐to‐beat changes). Besides propelling the same volume of blood through the corresponding circulations, the two ventricles also share common structures such as the pericardium, the interventricular septum and the coronary arteries and veins—all of which complete the dynamic and integrated picture of the human heart. However, there are marked differences between the left and right ventricles as each is adapted to separate and dissimilar vascular beds,...
