Blood Supply
The blood supply can vary.
- The blood supply of the AV node is from the posterior interventricular artery, which is a branch of the right coronary artery in right-dominant individuals.
- In the remainder of individuals, the AV node is still supplied by the posterior interventricular artery, but that artery is a branch of the left circumflex artery; the coronary circulation of these individuals is considered left-dominant.
