- Separate the heart from the from lungs by cutting through the major vessels
- Dissect the coronary vessels.
- On the right side of the heart, dissect in the direction of blood flow: Superior vena cava > right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle. Look for thromboses or patent foramen ovale.
- Dissect the atrial appendages, to exclude thromboses.
- Dissect the left ventricle, such as into circumferential slices from the apex to the base.[notes 1] (Dissect one or more papillary muscles for infarction.)
