AB Cardiac  anatomy  is  often  taught  on  a  heart  excised  from  a  cadaver,  or  on  heart  models  that  do  not  reflect  the  true  spatial  orientation  of  the  heart  as  it  lies  in  the  chest  cavity.  However,  with  the  advent  of  newer  cardiac  imaging  techniques,  diagnostic  studies,  and  procedures  on  the  heart,  it  is  now  essential  that  the  structures  of  the  heart  be  displayed  and  visualized  as  they  lie  in  situ,  and  as  they  relate  to  the  other  contents  of  the  thoracic  cavity.  In  this  chapter,  we  provide  a  comprehensive  description  of  cardiac  anatomy,  particularly  as  depicted  by  echocardiography.  Through  the  detailed  use  of  drawings  and  representative  echocardiographic  scans,  we  will  focus  on  describing  all  cardiac  structures,  specifically  as  they  are  situated  in  the  thoracic  cavity.
