2020, Cardiac Electrophysiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Referred to as “James fibers,” atrionodal fibers are atrial connections also present in normal hearts. Passing from the eustachian ridge or the atrial septum, they connect to the right side of the atrioventricular node potentially constituting a partial bypass of the nodal body.28 In fetal and infant hearts it is normal to find fronds of specialized cells extending into the central fibrous body.

2020, Research in Veterinary ScienceCitation Excerpt :In humans, AVN is an ovoid compact structure that measures approximately 5 mm in length, 3 mm in width and 1 mm in thickness. ( Glomset and Glomset, 1940b; James, 1961; Waller et al., 1993b). In human, electron microscopy studies have described four types of cells in the AVN: P cells, T cells, myocardial cells and Purkinje cells (PC).

2019, Research in Veterinary ScienceCitation Excerpt :The atrioventricular node (AVN) is only a few millimeters anterior to the orifice of the coronary sinus. The node is located below the right atrial septal endocardium and just above the septal junction of the tricuspid valve (James, 1961; Waller et al., 1993b; James, 2002). In dogs, it is located in the right half of the interatrial septum.

2018, Interventional Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :The membranous septum is easily recognizable on CT images. The AV node lies directly on the RA side of the central fibrous body (right trigone) in the muscular portion of the AV septum, just anterosuperior to the ostium of the coronary sinus.14,15 It has a flattened oblong shape and an average dimension in adults of 1 mm × 3 mm × 6 mm.
