It is traversed by posterior interventricular groove (PIV) containing PIV branch of RCA.iii) Base (posterior surface) :- Formed mainly by left atrium and partly by right atrium. It is separated from T5 to T8 vertebrae by pericardium, oblique pericardial sinus, esophagus and descending thoracic aorta.iv) Right surface:- Mainly by right atrium.v) Left surface :- Mainly by left ventricle and partly by left auricle.
