Note: Missing Page 288. / It has been estimated that of the total deaths due to heart disease one-third may be attributed to primary coronary artery insufficiency related to atherosclerosis as the dominant factor, one third to primary coronary insufficiency associated with cardiac hypertrophy and increased work arising from valvular lesions and hypertension, and one-third to primary myocardial insufficiency. In other words, two-thirds of the deaths from heart disease may be traced directly or indirectly to coronary artery insufficiency (Rowe 1960). Wearn in 1933 described arterioluminal vessels running from the coronary arteries through the myocardium to the ventricular cavities, arterioluminal sinusoids passing deviously through the myocardium, connecting the arterial lumen to the ventricular cavity and the Thebesian veins communicating with the coronary venous system and ventricular lumen.
