Aantomical dissections in 9 human cadavers revealed the terminal pathway of the lymphatic system of the left ventricle to be constituted mainly by channels emptying into the right angulus venosus (junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins) at the base of the right side of the neck. This observation has clinical implications because it has been shown that a sampling of cardiac lymph provides the best method for analyzing myocardial metabolic abnormalities and that drainage of cardiac lymph alleviates the myocardial changes produced by ischemic injury.
对9具人类尸体进行的解剖显示，左心室淋巴系统的终末途径主要由引流至右侧颈部根部右静脉角（颈内静脉与锁骨下静脉交汇处）的通道构成。这一观察结果具有临床意义，因为研究表明，采集心脏淋巴是分析心肌代谢异常的最佳方法，而且心脏淋巴引流可减轻缺血性损伤所导致的心肌变化。
