is a collection of veins joined together to form a large vessel that collects blood from the myocardium of the heart. It is present in humans and other animals.

It receives blood mainly from the small, middle, great and oblique cardiac veins. It also receives blood from the left marginal vein and the left posterior ventricular vein. The anterior cardiac veins drain directly into the right atrium. (Some small veins drain into any of the four chambers of the heart.) It drains into the right atrium on the posterior, inferior surface, medial to the inferior vena cava opening.
