10 fetal and 20 adult cadaveric hearts were compared by injecting barium sulphate in the coronary arteries. In fetal hearts 30% normal 70% variated and in adults 25% normal and 75% variated right coronary artery was observed. In fetal heart 40% normal and 60% variated, in adult heart 15% normal, 85% variated, left coronary artery was observed. In fetal heart 20% third coronary artery and in adult heart 5% third coronary artery was observed. This comparative study appears to be new study because no literature was available to compare fetal heart with adult cadaveric study.
