The venous drainage of the human heart, bovine, the dog's and the cat's was analyzed and classified; in area as well as in depth; establishing relations within the venous systems, with the cardiac cavities and with the conduction cardiac system. The studying techniques, coronariographic, cuts in series, as well as disection, were used in all the hearts. Coronary venous ligations were done at various levels and also thromboflebitis at various levels, in order to demonstrate the function of the venous drainage of the heart, as a "venous-unity" and with a great compensating capacity. It is demonstrated that disturbing the venous drainage of the success-conduction system gives place to blockades of various degrees.
